Think long and hard about HOW you are going to do water changes. Plumb pumps, drains and valves into the plan so that you have to move water anywhere by hand or by siphon. Long term...if it is difficult, you won't do it.
Municipal water pressure is free. Use that pressure to store your RODI water high so gravity can deliver it where you want later. (Including into your SW mixer). Have a convenient way to dump a measured amount of your aquarium water so you can replace it with fresh mixed.
