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

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).

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..

Sweet, I keep mine in a sealed bucket under my desk so I feel better about it now
