I personally dont like mixing salt in tho I made mine on a salt bed, the oyster shell leaves enough spaces that the rock is really porous...
The biggest thing is the curing process, I ended up having to commendere a family bath tub for volume and ease of water changing...i found buckets and polystyrene fish boxes too slow.... what i would recommend is getting a kiddy paddling pool.....sticking a bulkhead in it with hose and valve and run it to a drain, and use a hose to fill :) you could do that outside as well, so the sun would heat the water increasing the speed :)
