mixing salt in the D/T

[mp32]

Can you mix salt in the D/T when you fill up the first time?

Yes you can...just make sure the salt gets well dissolved and the water gets aerated before you add any LR/LS...
I pointed 2 powerheads towards the bottom of the DT to get all the settling salt and then a few hours later i moved the powerheads towards the top to create disturbance on the surface and aerate the water...mix for at least 24 hours before adding any rock and/or sand. Good luck!

I would say yes, as long as nothing else is in there.

That's how I did it

That is good to hear, I have to get 200 gallons of RO/DI to start filling up the tank and I have no where to put it so I was thinking about getting it and filling the tank and then mixing up the salt, so this makes things a bit easier for me Thanks for the info!
