Cultured water time frame

[earthguy00]

I've been storing some cycled water for a few months now to use for my upgrade tank in the future.

I was curious to know how long this can last in plastic jugs
without losing it's beneficial bacteria etc?

Anyone with experience on this?

The bacteria isn't in the water. It is in your live rock and sand.

+1

And any bacteria that is in the water would need to be fed and you'd need the water oxygenated with a powerhead or airstone.
