Water prep?

Some of the minerals included in your salt are slow dissolvers. The powerhead provides the circulation to assist in dissolving these minerals. You can also throw in a heater so that the water is at the proper temp when you add it to your tank, as well as when you test it, since temp affects the reading.
Boy you got that right. Mine's definitely a ritual. ;D
The same day I'm done with my water change, I refill the trash can I use to make more salt water with fresh RO/DI water. The trash can contains a Tunze powerhead and a heater. The next day I add the saltmix. 2 days later I check the salinity and adjust as necessary. The day before the water change I re-test the salinity, and 6 hours before the water change I remove the lid completely to aerate the water, which raises the pH.
