storing salt water?

[lickyricky]

I purhcased pre mixed salt water from my LFS. I ended up with too much and my question is...can I just store it for my WWC? will anything bad happen to the water?

It should be fine. I'd keep it in a closed container to keep it free of dirt and minimize evaporation so the salinity stays close.

yes, I have it in a closed 5 gallon jug

Yes I agree should be perfectly fine storing the saltwater to use later. I usually keep about 15 gallons of saltwater on hand. Just keep it sealed to cut down on evaporation and to keep dust and stuff out of the water.

The only thing that really happens (potentially) is the alkalinity will drop, especially when there is heat. Maybe not a big concern unless you have SPS or alot of coral. You can always check it and dose two part or if you have a calcium or kalk reactor it should be fine as long as you are not doing a big water change.

It can be saved. I would just test the parameters before adding it to the system,

That answers my question too, THANKS! Does it have a shelf-life?
