I would need to check at my lfs. I pour r.o into bucket, pour salt into cup. Mix the two using a wooden spoon for about 5 minutes. Test salinity. Then pour into tank (slowly)
I would want to mix that a lot longer than 5 minutes. Do you have an extra power head around you can leave in the bucket and let it mix overnight? At least a few hours. I don't think everything is mixed in 5 minutes.
I do 30litres per week (3buckets) when I test salinity a few hours later it's always good. But if it's not mixing properly could this be the cause of my problems
Gonna buy a bigger container. And heat the water as I have a spare heater. Although I add slowly to the tank, it still drops a couple of degrees. Need to improve on house keeping!
