As an example my ppm right out of the sink is 115. I let it sit for 24 hours and still add cal/mag because I use LED lights. I also use DWC hydroponic buckets so they sit right in the water and nutrients.
If your using tap water you should let it sit for 24 hours to vaporize off the chlorine. Using an air stone does help. Still check the ppm after. You don't want to use really hard water, over 200ppm right out of the sink.
