Mixing Ro And Salt?

[techen]

Am I right in saying this is an okay way of mixing salt and RO water? It has a air pump with twin outputs in it. In a matter of hours almost all the salt has gone.

How long should I leave it for?

Yep, that's fine. I usually get the mix going in the evening and then leave it to sit with aeration overnight before using it. Some mixes stabilize faster than others and some brands claim to be usable in-tank in just a few hours, but trying to use it too soon is riskier than just being cautious and giving it some extra time. The water will still be a bit caustic and unstable for a while even after the salt isn't visible on the bottom anymore.
