Nutrient mixing station

I'm looking for people's setups to get some inspiration I currently use the 2.5 gallon containers of general hydro GMB for my base nutes I have a few 44 gallon brute trash cans I use no less that 6 gallons per day some days closer to 10 or 11 depending on the girls demand I want to have a station where I can mix my nutrients more effectively I've seen some people using brute trash cans as their mixing station and have their nutrients attached but lugging around 3 2.5 gallon containers and using a syringe to get the nutrients out seems inefficient and "dirty" with potential cross contamination of nutes so just tell me how you mix your nutes or what your mixing station looks like just need some ideas to tailor my setup around thanks!

I use 6 gallon jugs of nutes. I saves some ocean breeze juice bottles and I top those off from the 6 gallon jugs.

I measure with graduated cylinders.

My nutrients are mixed in 30 and 55 gallon drums that are filled by an RO filter when they are empty. I have a float valve that shuts off the water when full, then I have a shutoff valve that I turn off so it wont add more water when I start pulling nutrients out. I put a tap on the bottom of the side of the drum using 3/4" grommet and a barbed elbow fitting thats connected to a shutoff valve. The drums are on cinder blocks to raise them up so I can put a 5 gallon bucket under it and snag some nutes. I can also hook a garden hose to it if I want. I have a pump in the barrel to circulate the solution as I add the nutrients. When the barrel is low I drain the rest of the nutrients, make sure to close the valve and I open the valve that feeds the float so the RO filter will refill the drum.
