Anywhere from 18 to 30 hours, depending on when I mix the day before and when I do the change the day of. BTW, since using RO/DI water I have noticed a HUGE reduction in the brown ring left behind on the tote.
Cheers,

I mix up a new batch as soon as Im done doing my water change, so mine sits for a week.
RO water makes a huge difference. Try using it when you make Icecubes.. amazing how clear they are and they pop right out of the tray.

As soon as the bin is empty I refill it as it has 2 powerheads, heater etc so I always have some handy in case of trouble and I can perform a waterchange whenever I want to....(we also have 7 tanks in the house so water changes are a constant!!!
 ) I won't use the water until it has aged for 30 hours...don't know why just do as I feel it is more stable then.
