Default How to do a reef tank water change

As an experienced freshwater keeper, I would simply clean the glass and then syphon out water and use a hose to fill it adding a few drops of water conditioner while I'm doing it. But, it seems to be the general rule that salt water systems(especially reef tanks) tend to be more finicky.
My thought is:
Premix a pail of water that is conditioned and salted, then poor it in.
Is this right?
