Salt life

Quick question, how long can I keep mixed saltwater in a container? I use reef crystals. I mixed up 20 gallons with fresh RODI and I’m just curious as to how long it will keep. Thoughts.....

With a pump or sitting? Sealed or exposed to air?

It will last quiet a while and BRS TV did an experiment on the different brands of salt and what happened to alkalinity levels etc over a period of time

Many such as Red Sea etc were fine.

I don’t have the link to hand but you should find it easy.

It's sitting in a 25 gallon bucket that semi open. Only have a heater sitting in it. Was kinda keeping it at the ready for an emergency. I mixed it about a week ago thinking it was time for a water change but it's not.
