The plankton will die in the storage can producing Ammonia and eventually high Nitrates. Then he keeps it aerated well and in the dark for up to a couple of weeks. If he intends to use it immediately, he merely adjusts the temperature and salinity to match his tank and then he uses it. Please note that he doesn't collect his water from anywhere near the shore. _________ Curt
