water change question

[sltwtrlvr]

I have a 90 gallon and plan to do about 20 percent of water change... Should I use the water change mixed with salt and kalkwasser and other stuff inside before I do the water change? Or just use the water only to make the water change?

Thanks.

just water and salt. mix it at least 24hours befor to let the ph balance out. use a small pump to mix untill you use it and a heater to bring the water to temp. of you tank.

I use instant ocean to make up my salt water. However IO is low on Ca and Mg so I supplement them before I do a water change. Basically whenever I make up a new batch of salt water I make sure the parameters are all to my liking before I add it to my tank.
