Lawrence-Salt water mix

[Lawrence Wulff]

Hi
I have a question.. Can I keep the water mix I make for my tank and how long can I store it?

hi Lawrence, yes you can store it, somewhere dark and cool in an airtight foodsafe container.

Yes you can keep it, I like to keep my mix in a 80 litre plastic drum with a powerhead to keep it circulating, I reckon you could quite easily keep it for a couple of months like that.
