RO/DI aeration and circulation

[NikeLV]

first off, if there are any threads you guys know of that talks all about RO/DI water and mixing, please share.Now. When you filter ro/DI water, do you need to circulate it with a power head? I have four 5 gallon jugs that I am going to put the ro/DI water in and there is no room to put a power head, or any thing in there. I am also going to mix instant ocean salt directly to each of the 5 gallon jugs. I am planning on doing all of the filtering and salt mixing 2 days before performing a water change in the main tank. Is there any amount of days I should wait before putting it in my tank?

Once mixed, wait 24hrs before adding to tank.

do i need circulation for the ro/di water though?

Depends on how long you are going to let it sit before you actually plan on mixing the salt up. If its just the 48hrs then no. If you plan on keeping them full then yes. Why not just get a Brute trash can from Lowes or Home Depot? I spent $14 on a food grade 55 gallon drum. And keep a powerhead going at all times.

Ya I bought a pair of drums similar to RM's locally for 20 bucks total. They were used to ship olives. See if you have a pickle or olive distributer/shipper anywhere near you.
