    Thanks, I never knew! The instant ocean bag just said mix and go...I usually let mine sit around an hour... I always mean to keep a bucket made up but am simply too lazy...lol



    Yeah I always use a power head 1) keeps my arms from getting tired from stirring and 2) actually gets it to dissolve faster... I didn't get fat by doing work! Plus winter is coming gotta stock up on insulation! 8)
