I would pre-mix and then add to tank.

Do you have a LFS that could supply pre-mixed water that you could bulk order?

Alternatively there are ways to make your RO faster (with a booster)

Is it not going to hurt anything with saltwater siting tank with my live sand 20 gallons at a time....don't trust lfs water

Not a problem.

I would add an air stone or a small pump for oxidation and water movement given that the sand is live.

If live sand means “damp with bacteria”, then you can’t hurt it.

It's the caribsea live reef sand

Nah it will be fine.

Took me a week to fill my tank for the first time!
