Automation can be a good thing, but for mixing your salt water? Come on, such a simple task and we try to complicate it by coming up with some ingenious, but quite technical and work intensive/costly ideas. How long does it take to measure some salt, toss it into your mixing container and give it a stir or start up a powerhead? Augers, valves, proportionizers..... egad. The maintenance of all the extra gear sounds like more work to me than just doing it manually. Apologies if I sound a little negative here, not really my intent, just trying to present the simpler point of view.
