Coral Pro Salt?

Just got my first bucket of Coral Pro Salt. I mix in 20 gallon batches and use it over the course of 3-4 weeks. After I mix, can I let the water sit stagnant without the mixing pump running?

Agreed. I always mix with pump and keep it running for few days before I use it for water change

Hello,
After 15-30minutes the salt should be dissolved, I would remove the pump and just add an air stone.
Make sure the water don’t evaporate too much or Calcium would start to precipitate.

All the best,

Aviad
