Any reason I can't add Brightwell's NeoNitro and NeoPhos directly to my freshly made saltwater while it's mixing? I know the obvious concerns about storing the water long term but I make enough to use all of it at once.

Thank you,
 
I edited your title to reflect the question

Nitrate is fine. Phosphate may bind to calcium carbonate deposits in the mixing barrel (if any), and hence be unavailable to add to the tank.

Thanks that's exactly what I wanted to know, I'll add the Po4 directly to the tank after a few hours have lapsed to be on the safe side.
