If the tank is new and without anything live in it yet, yes you can. This is the ONE AND ONLY time you can mix salt directly into a tank. From here on out, it gets mixed in a seperate containter.

For me, I would always mix in a container. THere could be undisolved solids left behind and who knows how long it would take to disolve in your tank. Your SG readings could be off longer if mixed in a tank..
