salt mixing

[bears]

it has been a while sense I have made a new SW tank, so am I supposed to put the LS and water in the tank then add salt, just water add salt then LS, or mix water and salt in a bucket and add to tank with Ls and lr in it?

If it is a new tank put RO water in and add salt and let it filter for a day before adding LS. This is the only time you can add salt directly to the tank. When you perform weekly water changes of about 10% mix water in a bucket (the bucket should not have been used for anything else) or new trash can with salt and use a power head to circulate it for a few days. the water should circulate for at least 24 hours but 48 hours to a week is better.
