Just a quick question. How long will newly made saltwater be good for in a 5 gallon bucket with a powerhead in it

Reason I asked is cause the new water in both my 5 gallon buckets is 84 and my tank is only 80 so either I try to cool them off or put them next to the ac unit and wait till tomorrow which would be day 3 of them being in the buckets

Yall think 4 degrees is to much for 10 gallons to be changed ?

thats fine 3 days is nothing...the temps would most likely raise a little in the tank but not that much maybe a degree or so
