Danny,

Thank for the recipe

When using any kind of water for water changes (tap or RO, RO/DI), have it heated to tank temps and aerated for at least 24 hrs before adding the salt. Warm water makes the salt dissolve easier and faster. Aeration makes the water chemistry more stable and drives off any build up of unwanted gases that might be in your water delivery system. I usually heat to tank temps and aerate it another 24 hrs before using, but have occasionally used it after only an hour after salting.

If you have chlorine or chloramine in the tapwater, I'm sure you already know which products to use to neutralize them
