IO Salt Question

[Tom R]

Hi Ron

I have used IO salt for years.

I dissolve the IO salt in a mixing tank of RODI water about 50G at a time.

I use a Mag 1800 to mix the solution for about 3 Hours.

I then dissolve mag and ca separately in a 2 lt mixing jugs. Once dissolved I add them to the salt mix. I then mix everything usually over night.

I then carry out the water change the next day.

Mine can mix in a few hours Ron and dissolves very easy. Usually mix overnight though or for a day or so. I add some magnesium first, mix a bit then the calcium. In a couple hours or the next morning, depending on the urgency, I add the salt. I follow Ben,s calculations for magnesium and calcium.

If for a day or so, I use a couple small power heads or have a large one if needed sooner.
