24 hours is good. Melev has written a great article on this for ReefKeeping mag. Here is the link to explain all

What i do is... put RO water in a 20 gallon container and add the salt... then I use a wood spoon to mix until the visible salt grains dissolve... then i put a big airstone, heater and powerhead and leave for 3 to 6 hours (sometime overnight depending on how urgent is the water change), then check the SG and temp and thats it... ;)

at least 24 hours is a general rule of thumb, and up to temp to match your tank.
