    As with any other salt, you should let it mix for a few hours before putting it in your tank.

    +1 Everyone.
    I always wait a good 24 hours for the salt in the mix to fully dissolve.

    When first mixed, saltwater is caustic. Your fish will appreciate at least 24 hours of mixing before a water change

    I usually make mine the day before, leave the powerhead in it overnight to dissolve all the salt, then stick a heater in there a couple of hours before my change to match the temp.
