So I mixed some salt last Thursday, reef crystals. I have it stored in a 20 gallon brute container with a circulation pump and no heater. I was originally going to use it the next day but due to being busy and work I wasn't able to. Am I still able to use it for a water change? It's just fish in there currently.

Thank you for any advice

Its fine. Use it.
 
I mix 50 g at a time in a barrel, no heater (even in winter, which get's around 49' here in SoCal) and keep it for a week to 10 days for water changes in 2x 200g tanks) - salt mix is fine with circulation pump. Also ok to add cold'ish water during 7.5 % water change - since it's a small % of total.

its fine as long as the container is sealed. make sure it hasnt evaporated. check the salinity now making sure its the same as whene you mixed it.
