What if I put a timer on it so the power head starts up a few hours before my water change... or maybe for just an hour each day?

Salt settles fast if not constantly mixed. Only need a little powerhead. I run a Mag350 in my waterchange bucket. uses like 18W or something??? A Koralia 1 or2 would be even better. But the Mag is all I had. Plus, I use it to pump the fresh change water to the tank
