saltwater
I plan to mix salt in a brute garbage can with PH's, heater, and a lid on top. How long can I leave that SW in there?

I have left mine up to 10 days and haven't had any issues. Don't have it in bright light though.

I've had mine mixed for several weeks. I need to start using it up soon.
