How long does a batch of SW stay good?
Just wondering, if I mix up a fresh batch of SW right after my PWC and keep it on hand for emergencys for a couple of weeks in a trash can with heat and a powerhead will it still be just as good to use for my next PWC as if I had mixed it say 24h beforehand?
I am currently running two tanks, one of them being a QT and it requires me to have water on hand for changes as neccessary. Input appreciated. |

If you keep it aerated and moving I can't see how it would go bad.
