In an emergency I've mixed and used it inside of five min's. Most of the time it's more then a week. I have two 35 gallonish rubbermaid cans, one for RO and one for Saltwater. I have a 900gph pump running continuously on the salt side to keep it mixed. I've never heated the water.

I mix my salt until it is all dissolved, < 5 min, using tank temperature water and pump it in as I siphon detritus and old water out. Been doing that for years. Change 10% water every week. Fish and corals are in excellent condition.
