I do the same as most of you as well. I add an airstone in to speed up the process. Doing a mix and dump as a bad idea on account of the levels are not set yet. The salt may look mixed in but its still way to hot for the tank( chemically hot, not physically) A day of mixing with powerhead, heat and air added to me should be an absolute minimum. just my $0.02

Man you guys are high tech, all I have is an old serving spoon. I let my 1.5 year old son mix the buckets for me as long as he doesn't spill too much.
