i think everyonme agrees its ok to mix saltwater before its used. better to premix so its pretty well aired out

how much water are we talking here. how much and how often will you be using the water.

20 gal / 1month ( about 5 gal aweek, but all the 20 gal will be mixed at one time then i will use it in a month period)

you should be ok with that. just keep a heater, and a powerhead in the 20g container to keep the water from getting stagnant and warm.
