all about the diy!!!!!
i use a skimmer pump with a venturi in my mixing station that is hooked to a timer where it runs for a couple minutes every other hour, on a constant cycle everyday.... i mix 60 gallons at a time in big drums.....
Fill mixing bin with RO/DI, heat water to appropriate temp, add pump pointing straight up (MJ900), add salt slowly.
Exactly the same for me.

I have a 35 gallon Brute that I have modified..... I have a little giant pump connected to the bottom of the bin returning in the top, so I can take water from the bottom back to the top for great mixing and circulation. I also have my RO/DI unit plumbed through the side with a float valve set for 30 gallons. I let the RO/DI fill the bin then add salt and removed my down tube for areation. I let my salt mix for 48 hours with a heater to maintain equal tank temp, do a series of water test to match the display. I also added a T in line on the return so I can open a ball vavle and pump my FSW to the display. If you all want pics I can add them just ask.

LOL....is that on purpose??
I do what Stun said except for the heating part. Maxijet or similar pointing straight up to the water surface and add salt about 3 cups at a time and stir for a few seconds, walk away, let dissolve, and repeat until I reach 1.025.
I do about 18g water change for around a 250g system. The cold salt water doesnt even drop my temp by more than 0.2 degrees when I add it to the system
LOL, No its when I am lazy and forget to fill the 20 gallon tank with water....
