How long is fresh SW good for. I am wondering how long I can keep premixed SW. I have a large 35 g bin and I keep my SW in there, most of the time half of the water is left after a water change.
What I'm wondering is, if it is ok to just keep adding to that water?
I have another bin too, and sometimes the water sits for a month before being used.
I always have a pump running in each of the bins, and also no light.
Test always show up normal, but I just want to make sure.
I did notice somethings growing in the bin, I'll have to make a microscope slide to find out exactly what's floating in the water.
