I used to store RO for upto 2 weeks. In theory its fine for a few weeks as its stripped of all nasties :)

'@Baddams there is a spotless water near me... just out of curiosity how long can you store RO for?'

I use mine the same day, so I've not looked into it. As it's been purified, there shouldn't be anything initially in the water that'll go off.
I suppose it'll depend on how clean the container is and whether it's stored airtight.

And yeah, he's a lovely-looking Cory.

Hi all,
Thank you for the replies. My tank is 105 litres and it is easier to look after than the small one. Unfortunately, the little guy didn't make it. I had him in a quarantine tank but I think the injury/fungus had taken its toll. RIP.
I live i Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham if that helps.
