alrha said:is there any need to heat the water while mixing if it is going to be only a small percentage of the water (i.e. <5%)?
Albert, if you take note of your original question that I was responding to, it makes no mention of water temperature of your water change water. It makes mention of the temp of the water WHILE MIXING.
Once again, back to the original question, the salt will dissolve better in 78 degree water than at 65 degrees.
I don't heat up my topoff water either. It gets added to the sump, just as marrone said. I only heat up my saltwater mix because of the dissolving effect, no other reason. If it dissolved just as easily in colder water, I'd be doing that.
