If I make 10 gallons saltwater mix can I add it to my tank right away or wait 24 hours?

I add mine roughly 20-30min after mixing. Seems the longer you wait to add it the water turns cloudy with precipitation.
With RSCP just mix it until clear (20 minutes or so) and then add to tank. This is one of the big factors with this salt that keeps me coming back haha
Thanks I just hear so much to wait 24 hours
Does is precipitated as soon as you added salt to water? Red Sea salt is only to be mixed per direction on the bucket. If you go longer the 2 hrs it will precipitates .Mine percipitate when I mix. I do leave it running for hours and overnight usually. here's a shot from the overnight mixing.
I have to say this salt in the bucket has been sitting around for over 4yrs old. It has only been a month ago that I started using it as I got back into the hobby.
ideas why mine is percipitating?

ahh...I have not checked. Typically I just leave it running overnight. I have not actually read the mixing instruction to be honest. Guess routine from 10 yrs ago just doesn't always work with different salt mix. I will have to check next time I mix a new batch. Likely later this evening.Does is precipitated as soon as you added salt to water? Red Sea salt is only to be mixed per direction on the bucket. If you go longer the 2 hrs it will precipitates .
The most I have left it mixing was 2 hrs. Haven't left it for more then that. Try that [emoji3]ahh...I have not checked. Typically I just leave it running overnight.
