Salt Mix

You probably already heard this but I also noticed that people had parameter problems with the salt. They stated it was because of storage and shipping the trace elements would sink in the bucket. So they roll the bucket around on the floor to get the trace elements properly mixed. Don't ask me how true it is because I'm on my first bucket but have seen it posted more than once so maybe it has some truth to it .

Currently I throw 5 gallons of water in a tub, 10 gallons worth of salt, and a pump. 20 minutes later (when my jug has been refilled) I add the other 5 gallons. Once the salt is fully dissolved I take 10 gallons out of the display and pump the new water in the sump.
The way I used to do it in my 225G:
Take 5 gallons out of the display, dump 5 gallons of rodi water in the sump, dump 2.5 cups of salt in the sump... done.... but like Eric I would only do water changes once or twice a year if that (you do have to dose carbon, bacteria, and trace elements if you don't do water changes.)
The only reason I'm doing water changes now is because I'm experimenting with running zeovit as recommended. Lately I've gotten lazy and I haven't done a water change this year... tank still looks good so I might go back to no water changes.
