How Do You Guys Use Your Ro Machines?

[Jeff20147]

I finally got myself a RO/DI Machine. How do you guys do your water changes with it? (Meaning like fill a huge container with pre-mix ready saltwater and siphon into your aquarium) Any advice?

I mix up fresh RO/DI with salt in a 50 gal rubbermaid tub, bring it up to temp and do a water change on all three tanks with it. I use a Python system on my sink to drain the water from the tanks (except the nano) and once down to the level I change, I switch the hose from the python to a pump in the 50 gal tub to pump the fresh water back in. On the nano I just use a piece of hose to siphon out what I want and then siphon fresh salt water out of a 5 gal bucket back into the tank.
