Mixed R/O Saltwater?

steelhant · 01/12/2008, 04:28 PM

I keep mixed R/O saltwater on hand at all times, Just curious if it goes bad. Sometimes I wait 10 days for water changes.

Thanks,

Do you keep a PH in it at all??

If not could lack oxygen and maybe seperate.

Ph...would aeration help ?

covered mixed SW can be stored as long as you want, just make sure it's mixed fully before adding it to the tank

if you minimize evaporation and maximize aeration, you'll be fine

keep it covered, if a piece of lint falls into it, a fungus may grow into the SW
