I am in the planning stages to set up a 180 gallon reef tank. I want to set up a ro/di sytem for water changes. I made the following figure and was wondering if this is correct. I am looking at purchasing a Typhoon II with the Autotop off feature. I will have two float valves to control flow for the mixing tank and sump. How does this look?
Simply, the tank evaporates water the float valve will turn on and RO/DI water will top off the sump. When the sump is full, the float valve will turn of and the Typhoon III Autotop feature will turn off the system.
Many systems have two tanks, where one is a holding tank for RO/DI and the other is for mixxing RO/DI and salt. I would like to save space and I think this system is very simple.
