The only real problem with storing salt is possible organics from the bucket. Although some salt like red sea coral pro and reef crystals seems to precipitate some minerals. So a month in a clean bucket is not a problem with most salt. That said, I used to use natural filtered ocean water right from the ocean. it is filled with bacteria and bugs and such. I never had any problem with storing it for a month. you don't need to heat or circulate it.

On mixing your own, after using ocean water so long I had nerves too. The instruction on Instant ocean say five cups I believe, but I got mixed results and had to constantly adjust it.
What I did was to figure it out by weight. In a Homer bucket filled to the first rim (not the top) use 800 grams of salt. Mix till diluted. comes out perfect everytime.

My regular UPS guy comes in to see the tank every time he drops a package. After the first few "Live Animal" boxes came he finally said what the heck are doing, can I see?!? Anyway, I'm his first stop now when he sees something for me. Do your delivery guys a solid around X-mass and you'll never see another DOA again :)
