Need help with marine salt -setting up a new tank-

[frd72]

for me not a good idea to start salt water tank and leave for trip/ holiday..
it will require your close attention for the first few weeks or months for cycling process..
and that's the only way to mix salt is to have it ahead of time, mix it properly with the right temperature and correct salinity..

Thanks all for your help. I'm leaving in 2.5 weeks for my trip. I hope everything will be good by then. I'm useing my rubbermaids to transport the LR. I'll leave it in the bucket until the tank is ready to go. Thanks for you help everyone.I will just play it by ear from here. I'm off to go get it now.
