Water Quality
I am in the process of setting up my first Marine tank. Is it possible to store R.O. water in closed plastic containers?If so,how long can it be stored etc.?
Thanks in advance.

hi johnboy,yes you can store RO, keep it in airtight jerrycan[food grade plastic]out of direct sunlight,when ready to use just add salt,heat + airrate for min 6 hrs[i do it for 24hrs]then its ready to use
