    how long does it take for salt to dissolve? I used instant ocean, and there is still some salts at bottom slightly, i keep shaking the salt in the water, but wont dissolve..

    It should say on the container the earliest time you can use it. Are you using a powerhead to mix it?

    I never saw much for a cycle. I kept maybe a cup of sand from the old tank to seed the new; I put 20 pounds of new sand in along with all my LR. My levels stayed pretty good.
