limited water changes... next step, overkill

[Magnum Man]

so I have a 1/4 inch line of well water "t'd" off from the RO feed line, that I'll use to add back some minerals as needed, depending on tank mate needs... The 1/4 inch lines are easy... but also easy to forget I have them on, as slow as they fill... most of my main tanks will only take a gallon or so, be big water change, do that shouldn't be a problem... I just need to put the work area door back on... but didn't like the side it opens from before, so this is a good chance to change that... unfinished basement under the stairs... 100 gallon tank in place.. diaphragm pump to fill tanks, sitting on top...

All my tanks are mixed ro/tap. I used to test for everything but now it's become so 2nd nature I rarely test at all anymore except....I use my TDS meter in the mixed barrels. My desired range is between 40-60TDS, that works for what I'm doing and my tap water/minerals/ro etc etc etc...once you get dialed in you might be able to do the same thing, just measure by TDS and be good to go.
