mixing salt for water change
 

since I recently (5 mins) broke the heater I use to warm up my water change water, I was wondering if i could just mix the salt up in the cold water and add it really slow to my tank, ie: drip method,
???

how big is the tank, how much are you changing and how cold is cold?

40 gallons total volume....
4 gallon water change.......
and the water change water temp is @ 60

60 is kinda cold, but as long as you add it slowly while the tank is mixing, you should be fine. By slowly I mean over about 15 minutes or so...

uhh okay, well ya, i've got it going right now, and its going damn slow, prob take at least another half and hour. lol

I do 10% water changes my change water is at room temp I just dump it in with no problems works for me might no work for you :confused:

I only do that in my sump the return rate is slow so I add the water and the take out the old stuff, it is so slow that I can fill my pail before the 5g is back in the tank.
