How long do you keep that water without oxygen intake?

I use NSW (natural sea water) in both my tanks (66gal and 30 gal). I
used to go collect it at high tide off the shore but now I have it
delivered to the house and store it in a 60gal food safe container. I
have a small pump (150gph) and a heater to keep it at tank temps for
easy water changes. The water causes me no issues. My bud has used it
in his tank for 5+ years. Storage does not require it to be circulated
or heated. I keep 5 gals in a jerrycan at the office in a closet.

The results speak for themselves....

The water does some in at a lower SG (1.023) but that is what my tank
is used to. I buffer it with a little kalk. I live in Halifax Nova
Scotia, on the east coast of Canada. The water I use is collected from
the mouth of the harbor (Sambro, south of Halifax for those
interested)
