Very not good advice.... You'll run into problems soon enough salt needs to dissolve completely or it can harm fish pretty bad after all it's what they breathe, I mix my batch of change water a week in advance and it stays moving and at tank temp for that whole time. I also dose any calcium that needs to be dosed then too.
