Default Red Sea coral pro salt?

Made the switch from IO reef crystals to this and it recommends to mix for no more than 4 hrs. Had a bucket going for a day for a WC... Still safe? Anyone have experience with this product?

Wonder why the recommend no more than 4 hours?... I mean it's going to be in solution and mixing for longer then that in your tank

I had a conversation with aquavitro about salinity and they also told me not to heat water. I asked them if I should take the heater out of DT also then .
To which I stumped them.

I would mix as usuall heater and pump. I keep fresh mix all the time

I've been using this salt for over a year and love it. I just mix it the day before or that day WITH the heater going, and I've never seen any ill effects.

Have att'er man. I don't know why they are trying to make it more complicated that it really is...
