Here's mine. 2 brute 40 gallon tanks I got from Walmart.ca on sale (30 bucks a piece, don't sell them in store). Now they don't come with lids, but if you go to home Depot and tell them you forgot to get lids when you got your cans they they give you them they have mor lids than cans.
I then hooked up a mag pump that does the circulation as well as pumps the water up into t tank with the turn of two valves. Everything is hooked up with unions so if I wanted to take it apart it's very easy to do.
I decided to make use of under the table as the cans fit perfectly. I cut a hole in the top of the salt can so I can easily fill it with salt. Right now I'm just using a lid from a salt bucket to cover the hole until I router out a new piece of acrylic. Inside the salt tank there is a pipe that has a bunch of small holes in the top for aeration and then it goes to the bottom of the tank to ensure the salt moves around and gets mixed up. I threw a photo of my salt stockpile for the year, I'm still getting it at pet smart for 39 bucks weekly :)I have my RO line going into the tank on the right with a shut off valve and then with the turn of two valves I can use the same mag pump to fill the salt tank.
