    How long can one store saltwater in a bucket? With or without a heater and pump for circulation?

    Ive kept mine for a week with circulation, but I checked the salinity before adding to the tank. I really dont know if it would last longer or not, but I know they sell premixed salt water so I would assume it would. Anyone else know?

    If it has a pump for circulation it will last a very long time (just like the water in your tank), but without a pump it can become stagnant.
