Ok. I will try to mix 3-4 hrs with no heater just pump- Red Sea Salt Blue bucket.
 
Doesn't really answer anything other then that little pump is generating quite a bit of heat in that very small volume of water. He didn't say what the temp of that water was just if the water is significantly higher then 24C it could cause precipitation. I agree a large pump that generates a lot of heat or a heater in the water will cause some precipitation. I also agree mixing beyond what's needed isn't necessary unless the saltmix contains organics of some kind.

But circulating the water continuously with out significant temp increase should not cause precipitation. If it did everyone's tanks would be a white cloud all the time.


And here.... we.... go....

Blue bucket mixes perfect within an hour or so and I leave it overnight for sure. No issues.
