Currently buying RODI and Saltwater from my LFS. Having issues with high alkalinity, and my LFS is using a high alk salt (Red Sea Coral Salt Pro). Want to start mixing my own salt water, to gradually bring the alk down. Will still buy RODI from them. Was trying to go a budget route. Appreciate any feedback. Mixing salt water seems vert basic, just want to make sure I'm not missing something.
Also, looking for for a go to salt mix, any suggestions. Small tank with softies. Maybe some LPS down the road.

Gear list:
- 20 gallon Rubbermade brute trash can
- Hygger pump to move water from trash can to 5 gallon containers. Plan to mix 10 gallons at a time.
- Cheap Powerhead - given the very minimal price difference between the the different GPH options, any reason to not go with the highest GPH option. Thinking it would mix faster with tons of flow.
- Do I need to heat the water for the salt to mix properly? I'll be mixing in my basement which will be around 65 degrees.
Thanks,
