Salt water question

[MadReefer]

I made a batch of saltwater 3 months ago and the container got buried in the garage. Just found it and was wondering if I could still use it adjusting water accordingly for proper salinity.

Thanks

I have used saltwater mixed with rodi that was that old. It was in a sealed container that I purchased from tropiquarium

 

[MadReefer]

Just sealed. No circulation for 3 months. Have a pump in the container for about 4 hours now.

It was just a snap lid doubt it air tight. Similar to a storage container lid.

Didn't you just recover your tank?

 

[MadReefer]

Yes Mark. I thought there was another bucket of water but could not find it. I assumed old age caused me to forget using it...lol
I hate to waste it but if have to lesson learned.

Well the water smelled awful this morning and had a yellowish tint. Thrashed the water and it left a yellow/brown residue on the bottom, all cleaned up.
