    I bought an air pump to put in my bucket when mixing water, I don't know what to part to put in the bucket haha should I get an air stone ?? I just need to know what I need to have a perfect set up for mixing salt water. I have never done it this way.

    Get an airstone if you use the pump. Most use circulation pumps to mix the water. I use a whisk then use the pump to get the water stable overnight after all the salt is melted from using the whisk.

    Yes, you are looking for a way to "stir" the water on your behalf....I chose a MJ1200 with a 100 watt heater...
