Hey everyone, Thank you in advance for helping me out!

I have just began setting up my new tank and first I added non live sand than I added fresh water, than I added my 2 power heads to get the water moving, than I got my water temperature to 78 degrees and stable, than I added 60 Gal worth of Salt. Now I still have salt on the bottom of my tank, on top of the sand, and I can still see the currents which looks slimy which I beleive is from the salt. How can I get the salt to evenly distrute, or should the salt just sit on the bottom?

Please let me know!

Thank You

i understand you have non live sand, what brand or type? if its something heavier you could aim the powerhead more down towards it to help without creating much of a sand storm but im wondering what sand you have.
tap water is going to cause alot of issues down the road, i highly suggest using RO/DI water only.
