OK, well I can try mixing the salt into the trash can of RO water. Say I do that, take 10 of 30 gallons out and turn the RO unit back on. Would it be OK to just add then enough salt for 10 gallons to the trash can (testing sg of course)? Or would it be better to use all the mixed salt water...

I have a 30 gallon trash can that I keep the RO water in. I have a heater in there bringing the temp to the same temp as the aquarium water. I don't mix the salt in until I'm ready to put it in the tank. Siphon out a bucket, dump it, get a bucket of RO water, add salt, let it mix and test the...
