Storeing saltwater

[adamfinke]

Looking for ideas on storing saltwater how long can I keep it. Should you keep it moving with a powerhead? I was worried about slim or algea forming. All thoughts and ideas welcome.

I keep R/O in a bucket, i go every 2 weeks to my petshop for refills.

Thats what Ive been doing. After I mix my salt water I want to store it until Im ready for it. Will it keep?

i keep it fresh till i need to do a water change then mix my water and salt 24hrs before a change

I like the rest so far, mix shortly before my water change. Usually around the 24 hour mark. Clean RODI water stores better than mixed saltwater unless you can suck all the air out of the bottle or storage container.

I've stored mixed water up to two weeks without any problems.

Well that makes me feel better now. Just wasn't sure.
