I’ve just mixed 4 gallons of saltwater in a bucket and got to go to bed because I have work in the morning It will be about 20 ish hours until I can do the water change will the water be okay being still in the bucket for that long as long as I check salinity and add distilled water to compensate for evaporation, thanks!!
