I have a large container that I make my saltwater in and some how the powerhead I had circulating the water was unplugged and the water has sat there with no movement for 30 days. I plugged the powerhead back in but is that water OK to use?????
 
I think it would be alright but I would definitely check all of the levels just to make sure.

If nothing got into the bucket I don't see why not... What type of plastic is the bucket made out of?
 
There may be some algae, or some sedimentation. Test it. But defin.itely aerate it before usng.

I am a reefer on a buget and $6 worth of salt is $6 right?
