I use a 30gal mixing tank with a pump and heater, I always use the same cup to add the salt which is about 500ml, I add one scoop for every 5 gal of water to start, so I fill the tank up to about 25gal and add five scoops, turn the pumb (ocean runner 3500) and heater (300W @ 80*F) on and leave it for about 3 or 4 hrs. When I come back I check the temp & salinity (1.026 target) and add salt or water to balance things out, I usually have to add a little more H2Ocean, maybe a scoop or less to get it where I want it then I let it mix for a few more days and re-check, it usually doesn't change.
