Will my saltwater go bad?

[yOdaddy]

I have saltwater that's bottled up in 1 gallon jugs. I figured I will just make a lot so I wont have the mess of mixing it later. So just curious, how long can i keep salt bottled and will it go bad if I don't use it for awhile?

If its in direct sun it could possible grow mold I had this issue when mixing 1.019 for my phyto set up. It sat for 2 weeks but it was in direct sunlight sort of. I have a 175 g setup with mixed salt sitting in the garage but run a powerhead and do not have any issues. I would suggest getting a trash can and throw a powerhead in there. I suppose you could try it but stagnant water usually grows stuff. But if it's sealed and doesn't see light who knows.

I've had it sit in a 7 gallon container (from walmart) in my basement for 4 weeks and then heated/aerated it for 24 hours prior to use and it was fine. Just my 1.5 cents worth!

Its sealed and stored in my closet where its dark so hope it will be ok

Just be sure to reheat and aerate in a well ventilated area to get the PH up and you should be fine.
