please post your results. i am curious.

as an aside, i did find this online at the instant ocean website:

FAQ

Q: What is the proper way to mix salt water?

A: Always add the salt mix to the water, not the other way around. Adding water to the salt mix briefly creates a highly concentrated solution that can lead to precipitation of some ingredients.

if is a fish only tank, you should use a large container, pop a airstone or powerhead in it, let it run for 24 hr.

if is for a reef tank, and if you don't have Ro/Di, use a container with a powerfilter, add phosphate removers in the filter, until phosphate is at zero.

hope this helps you out.
