BubbleTrouble Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I bought a jug of pre-mixed saltwater from the local petstore. does it stay fresh or does it need to be used quickly in water changes?? It kept at room temp in a closed container Quote Link to comment
Toomanymatts Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 For me it's like beer, never had it around long enough to truly know if it goes bad. Quote Link to comment

seabass Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I've always been told that it's fine if you keep a cap on it. However, I only make enough saltwater to use immediately (as soon as it fully dissolves). 1 Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I know instant ocean is fine to store. I heard some brands may change alk? but not sure. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Rabb.D Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 i think its fine to leave it overnight or a week or so, you should just give it a try and see Quote Link to comment
Murphs_Reef Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I keep salt water for emergencies for months in the shed. RO water I bulk buy and keep for weeks or months at a time as well.. it's fine to leave as long as it's in a dark place.. otherwise you'll end up with a bucket of algae.. Quote Link to comment

Sweet, I keep mine in a sealed bucket under my desk so I feel better about it now 1 Quote Link to comment
