Pump for mixing station?
About to build a mixing station. Using two 25 gallon plastic containers I just ordered. What is a good external pump to use and at a decent price to move the water around. I'm going to do it like most the ones you see on here. Ro on one side and salt on the other with the pump in the middle with it piped 3/4 the way on the salt one to circ. What are people going with?

Assuming you will also use the pump to deliver the water how long of a run are you going and how far above the water storage are you going when delivering that water.
I've put hammerheads on 40g storage tanks because they needed the head pressure during delivery.

I just purchased a cheap jabeo dc12000 to use. Haven't finished hooking it up yet, but for $100, I don't need amazing quality for this use.
