How do yall add Aquarium Salt to your tanks? Id assume some how dissolving it first then adding, but how do you go about doin it? Ive tried every which way to dissolve the crap and seems to take forever!!!!
 
In a small container with holes in the lid. Or you can and add it strate. I have done them both with no problems.
 
I put it in a 5 gallon bucket and let it disolve overnight. Then I add that 5 gallons of so called salt water when I do a water chnage.
 
put it into your fish net, and let it rest on the rim with the net itself in the water

i occasionally dose my 250g tank, and it takes quite sometime for all the salt to dissolve, but atleast no salt grains can get into your tank. which is a big plus if your keeping inverts or other sensitive fish.
 
there is no fast procedure for it, best bet is letting it dissolve in water for some time
 
I rarely do, but when I do, I just dump it in there with most fish. When dealing with more sensitive fish/inverts, it's best to use the net method. If you buy the smaller grains, they actually dissolve relatively quickly. I get a little bit left on the plants and rocks, but that goes away in a few minutes. I never use those giant chunky types.
 
i just throw it in and let it go from their. lol
 
grab a handful and throw it in that's what my local expert told me to do. no prolblem disolved in tank pretty quick
