Questions as I pack up

OK
I am working on packing up my apartment. I will be putting my tanks and equipment into a storage unit that is climate control. I was wondering what you guys thought about storing the following.

• Salt (which will be in buckets with tight lids)
• BRS GFO (opened but still in its container and lid)
• BRS Carbon
• BRS mag mix (just made the mix about 3 weeks ago)

I would just be worried about the salt.....maybe the mag mix too (not sure whats in it)

Discard the mag mix. When you are ready look me up and I will give you a sealed BRS Mg Chloride. Mix it again.
Salt - close it tight and use a trash bag to seal the bucket or whatever you have in it.

I'd store it all. Just make sure the salt is sealed up good and tight....it's hygroscopic and likes to pick up moisture, and it it does, it will turn into a brick. With the GFO, again, make sure it's sealed up.....most are sold wet for a reason. Carbon is indestructible short of it picking up organics in the air....so again, make sure it's sealed up. And the mag solution is stable....nothing going to happen to that.
