Martin McNally Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Have a couple of questions on this: How long can you store mixed saltwater for? Should it be constantly aerated (even after a 3-4 day perod post mixing)? Does it need to be heated all the time or during the mixing phase or can it just be stored at room temperature and heated just before using? Thanks for your help in advance.

fishytime Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 You can store it for as long as you want as long as it is aerated and covered. You will have to compensate for evaporation and bring up to temperature before you go to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murminator Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 I store mine for about 30 seconds before I dump it in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alterego Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 How much aeration is needed to store say 30 gallons? Would a single airstone work or would you need a couple powerheads? Brendan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosshog Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Use small a small power head to keep it aerated. I hate airstones when it comes to salt water. They create such a mess with the salt spray coming off of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plantlover Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Hey Martin, why would you want to store the water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
