A one time water change without letting the salt dissolve overnight

[Zach117]

Because of time restraints (going out of town) I need to do a quick water change after adding salt. Do you see any problems with doing it about three hours after the salt was added and not waiting overnight. This will be a one time thing about a 15% change on a 150 gallon system 3 year old tank. I have plenty of flow in the tank to get it all dissolved.

That should be fine.

Don't see any major issues. It should be fine, I would suggest a pump constantly mixing and of course adjusting to the right temperature. I have done an emergency water change 25% within a few hours of mixing without any issues.

I usually only mix my water about 4-5 hours before a change. Done it for years with not problems.
