Premixed saltwater?

[pcon]

Hey Everyone,

I've been in the Freshwater scene for quite sometime, and wanted to have my try at salt. Of course before I do it, I am researching as much as I can. So far I'm pretty damn scared. LOL

Anyhow I've noticed that if water is added to the tank it needs to be at the right temperature and salinity levels. I have seen at stores that they sell premix the water. Is this something I can do too? Like would I be able to have like sealed containers of salt water sitting around at the right temperature, ready to go to be used? Or is that something you kind of have to do 1-3 days before you add the water? Let me know. Thanks!

You can premix your own and keep it indefinitely, as long as there are no contaminants getting into it. Once the saltwater is mixed, it doesn't "go bad."
