Salt Mixture

[Padawan Fish]

So, I've moved this to the open forum. It's not a hard one, or very puzzling. I made up 45 gal of a known Reef Salt. Mixed in a close dark trash can with a small pump, didn't use it and shut it off. More than a month past and I turned the pump on to mix it again, with in two days the water started a Bio Cycle. So would everyone just dump it out and make a new batch? or once all the values go to zero could I use it. All the elements are still present. Just what to make a good practice and no change bad water with stored water?
Thx Reef Gang

My opinion, which means nothing, when in doubt toss it out.

I've been leaning that way too. Thx

what do you mean it started a Bio Cycle?

I always stored salt water for weeks.
