For anyone that is interested I thought I would share the system I have developed for creating water (salt & pure) for my reef tank. I have a spectra pure RO/DI system. I went to the local Culigan dealer and got 5, 5 gallon plastic water jugs. The kind that are used on water fountains for drinking. I asked them to provide me with the plastic caps (important point). I then drilled two small holes in one of the caps. This is my )master cap. The one I use to fill the bottles. I then insert the water outlet hose into one hole, and the automatic shut-off valve in the other. Turn on the water source and the bottles fill automatically, and the water shuts off automatically as well then the bottle is full. For salt water I put 3 cups of salt into the bottle before filling. For fresh water I leave the salt out. This system works great. I always keep 4 bottles of salt water on hand, plus 2 fresh water. I can make all of them in one day. Makes adding or changing water a breeze.
