I picked up my 30 gallons of salt water in my local fish store on Sunday. The week got away from me and haven’t done my water change if I do it tomorrow I think that’s all salt. Water is still good?

If my water sits for a while I always check salinity -- evaporation can happen even if you think a container is well sealed

Just double-check your salinity in the bucket, and you will be fine!
