As long as water parameters are good there is no reason to do some random water change. The fact that it is eating leaves little reason for concern. No salt needed just time to adjust to it's new home.
It's going to need more then "at least 180 gallons" so why even suggest it, giving bad advise is worse then giving any at all.

He'll be fine as long as he eating regularly. Do your normal water changes. It may take a while for the hand feeding to resume. Remember it is not uncommon for aros to fast for long periods of time. good luck
i really appreciate all of the replies and since this post he is doing much better. im aware of the adult size of the aro and have already made preparations for this. thank you all again
