When you say chunks, do you mean he has an ro that produces a certain amount of water daily??
If so, you either put in whatever your ro unit produces until you have enough in your tank, or go purchase what you need if you're in a hurry.
You can purchase some rubber storage/trash cans at lowes on wheels which are great for keeping your salt water mixed in-you will need to have at least 20-30 gallons on hand at all times anyway with such a large tank.

Wow, Great deal!
OK, If you have researched these boards, you will see that Tap water carries all sorts of problems with it. I made the mistake of using tap water initially, thinking that because it was well water-no problem. However, it was full of phosphates-from fertilizers and who knows what else-took a while to clean it up.
RO is recommended. Steam distilled is ok. If you have to use tap water, I would have it tested for metals and all the other stuff before using it for the tank.
It is so much easier to start right-a lot easier than cleaning up our mistakes after the fact.
