HuBu Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 keeping the water in a plastic container for a long period of time sucks because it would start to smell. try keeping it in a cool place would also help man. Link to comment
Korbin Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 I kept a jug on my bedroom floor for a about 5 weeks probably. It didn't smell, and I used it for water changes all the time. Never seemed to hurt anything. I guess it also depends on how much organic matter is in the water. Link to comment
Fant Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Depends on the container, idealy you want the container to be made from an inert material. Good storage chugs are called carboys they are either made from a material called ngalene or thats the company name, cant seem to remember. Check any lab supply house like coralina.com or fisher.com Link to comment
HuBu Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 nalgene is a company. most likely you want to buy plastic bottles or containers with the letters "PP" on the bottom because that si the chemical used to make the container. i think its poly---something. this material is inert and can with stand high temperature.

jjharrisx4 Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 I mix up like 30g at a time in a big rubbermaid container, and just drop a small ph in. I keep it in the garage (CA summers are hot) and use it up as needed. Sometimes it may be months before I make more. Never a problem yet. Link to comment
