I was wondering if fresh saltwater mix has a shelf life. How long do most people who premix their salt and leave it in a holding container usually keep theirs for? I run a AWC system that's connected to a 60 gallon holding container that's always aerated with a jebao pp8. I don't heat it though since the daily swap of water is only 3 gallons, therefore temp doesn't change much. I was wondering if anyone keep theirs for over 3 weeks with any problems...
The reason I ask is I noticed my alk was slowly dropping for the last two weeks. Decided to test my "new" water in the holding container. Got an ALK reading of 8.5dkh. Was hoping it was just a bad batch of salt, and not my method...
