i think if you put a small PH in to keep motion then you should be fine why wait though

IMO they should be able to be stored. You figure they have prob. been sitting around in storage some where any ways. I would have to say if any thing you may have to adjust PH or some thing like that. But if they are sitting around in their sealed state they would be just as good as the day you bought them. Do they put an experation date on them or best if used by date?

Reason for the storage is for water change as i intend to buy more so that i don;t have to frequently make trips for NSW . There isin;t any dates as those are sold in jerry cans or plastic bags .. alrite , i will try it out . : ) cheers !
