I do realize it will swing some. No I don't use a doser. I have been trying to avoid that becuase it is a small tank and I am still figuring things out in the hobby.

as for letting it stand it depends, most of the time it sits for a day or so with a pump and heater in the jug. Others I mix it and use it that day. A lot of the time I use whats pre mixed in my water container and mix the rest during my water change. I have very little space to deal with and a house that is at least 2 rooms to small with 3 kids so, it all depends on the day lol.

Ya I used this product from day number one for a few years already and haven't had any problems but never tried other salts so its hard for me to compare.

I use this salt exclusively and never had a problem with it.

I get cloudy mix when I mix the salt in a hurry and in warm water. But with 1cup/30mins in 5 gallon at room temperature tap water produces clear mix within an hour and I mix for like 12 hours before using it. And I don't use any heater.
