I don't wait for the cloudiness to clear. I just dump it in. Fish/coral don't seem to care either.

Worst thing that can happen, even with precipitation, is your parameters will be a little low. Probably not a big deal.

how big is your tank....? I know sometimes with my salt it never fully clears (salt to water ratio) and I just make sure the reading is okay and go ahead with the water change! if you're not in a rush, give it until tomorrow!

I found H2Ocean to be cloudy after mixing. As everyone else says, just mix it with a pump and heater and you're golden (should be doing that anyways for water changes). The order shouldn't matter.

Did you test the SG? Is it close to what it should be or is it way over concentrated? You may have to dilute it even more. Just a thought. 🐠
