How to mix salt?

[DongShenYin]

When mixing salt, is it better to use the whole box so that anything that gets separated goes in, or to do one gallon at a time whenever you change the water?

[Aggie05]

Only mix what you need. I will mix a gallon the day before my water change in a 5 gallon bucket. I put the water in, put the salt in, and then i use a little power head to circulate the water until the next day. That way the water is very well mixed when you are ready for it. Just make sure to check the SG before adding it to the tank.

Dave,

 

please include a point....or proper advice...

 

Although, many a brain cell has been lost trying to figure out which one is "Monty"

Dave's point is that this needs to go in the beginner forum. Secondly, this question is answered in the nano-reef.com articles which means this individual hasn't bothered to read them. Didn’t you get that from his image? LOL

Ok ok sorry! Lol I'll read the articles and the forum posts again... I just read books too, and they give different opinions about it, so I was wondering what nano keepers do.

In his defense, I have also read that you should mix the entire box at one time.

I follow Aggie's advice to the letter.

At least I didn't ask "which salt is better?" hehe
