| I mixed mine in the tank and let the power heads mix it, and the heater was also on to warm up the water before my live rock came. It is OK as long as no live fish are in the tank.

| For the first time you can mix in your tank. Run your powerheads only for the first day to circulate it, then start up your filter and skimmer. |
