That's only Rodi water, I want to know If I can store mixed saltwater without circulation.

The concern should be how clean your storage system is. RODI is clean almost no chance of bacteria and other stuff but if you mix them in the 5G saltwater bucket and then use it to store, most likely the water is already contaminated. especially, the changing season, where tons of crazy organics/good or bad living organisms are air born. Therefore, I always circulated the stored mixed saltwater 2 days ahead of usage.

so I could store the water without circulating it but should circulate it before using it?

I would circulate it before use if it sits for an extended period of time. Moreover, you definitely want to keep the stored water tightly covered!!!! The reason being is that water easilly absorbs gasses and other harmful things from the ambiant environment.
