Instant ocean time

[Wildreefs]

Howling before new instant ocean is ready for fish?

Setting up qt for one incoming fish, is 12 hours aggressive mix time sufficient?

They say 24 hours but I have gotten away with a lot less. Make sure to give the SW some time to settle after all that aggressive mixing and aeration.

I think you will be just fine.
I've made large water changes in the past on tanks with Instant Ocean after 4-5 hours of mixing.

I have used it mixed in that amount of time when I really needed to. I do find that I prefer to let mix for at 24 hours though to allow everything to fully dissolve.

I have mixed it and used it in less than an hour in an emergency situation with no negative effects. I now always keep 55g mixed and warm when I have fish in QT.
