Default Water Water, Everywhere water

OK, So I may have just goofed big time...

So I thought I was being bright by pre mixing 2.5 gallons with my normal salt and using it to refill the evaporated water. Typically about .25" every two days.

Here is the problem.. Tonight I added a gallon or so to top off the tank and when I was done I noticed that the water smelled to high heaven, and there was even some debris at the bottom, yikes...

So my real question is ,,,,

1.) Does anyone premix water or is this just a bad idea?
2.) Did I just add some water that will harm the community ?


\Please Help..
