Red Sea Salt on stand-by?

[antfish15]

Hi,
I am going to be transitioning from Instant Ocean basic salt to Red Sea Blue bucket soon. Historically, I have always made large batches of Instant Ocean (30-gallon brute), and then I use that brute for the next month or so until it runs out and repeat the process.

From what I read online, with the Red Sea, I will not be able to create a large bulk of saltwater and must mix it on the same day I plan to do a water change.

The 30-gallon brute is great because I always have saltwater in case of an emergency water change, need to top off with saltwater, coral dipping, etc.

My question is: How do you guys manage to have salt water on standby when using Red Sea salt?

I don't. I have to mix it at the time of use.
Might consider changing to reef crystals.

You can store blue bucket up to a month. There’s a BRS video out there comparing all major salt brands in storage. Blue bucket over 30 days was very stable. I’ve been storing it this way for 3 years and no issues. It’s better to store it non heated and non circulated fyi

Found this, there’s more videos with heated vs non ect when you keep digging.

Idk how you do it cause even if i stop mixing it once it its clear, the next day its precipitated.
