Very good. Thank you. I am considering changing my salt mix from red sea. seems like a common denominator in the smell. Once I get my new set up going, I'll make sure I set it up so I won't need to store salt water anymore. I'll just mix it and use it right away.Yes it has worked for me for many years. Not even sure I smell it anymore honestly. But I know the smell.
How long the mixed water stays "good" seems to vary by salt brand. I use IO reef crystals and it is good for 3-4 weeks easily. In a sealed bucket, even longer. Red Sea recommends using it within days which seems absurd. Others vary. There is a BRS video on the subject you can check out.
