Mixed Saltwater

[manny]

I've had a batch of mixed saltwater in a seperate 10 gallon tank for about a week. I got a powerhead on it keepin it circulated. Can I still use it or should you use mixed water right after you make it?

It's actually better to have water mixed up for a while before using, assuming you keep it clean, as Josh said. Use it! Not a bad idea to run some air through it, too. This helps with ph, especially if you're using the evil IO (flamers, light up!) which mixes to a low ph.

You'll be fine - I usually run mine with a giant airstone in it until I'm ready to use it - just put it in a covered trashcan or container so gunk doesn't fall in (I have to do this or my dog gets hair in it within seconds).
