Hi everyone just a question about how long you can store saltwater once it is mixed . I have heard that some people store it for upto a month. I mix it for 24 hrs and as long as theSG is correct and the temp then I use it . I would be interested in your thoughts

At least 4 weeks +

I have about 425 litres pre mixed and it’s fine

I don’t bother with the temperature or checking any parameters but mine are big tanks so it makes no difference with the amount being changed. In a nano you need to be more careful

I use the Red Sea standard salt which has always seemed to be fairly consistent.
