Can salt water be stored in bottles?

Hi guys, im planning to set up a 34L nano tank.. since many adviced me to go skimmerless and telling to do 10% WC once or twice a week, im thinking of mixing say 15L of water (DI water) and D-D H2o salt and storing them in 10 1.5L water and say i do 3L WC twice a week, the bottles will last me 2 - 3 weeks. rather den having to mix 3L water of water twice a week.. will the nutrients property of the salt water change if its kept for 2 - 3 weeks untouched?

For my pico tank, i will prepare di water and store in 1.5L bottles. I will then prepare saltmix and let the pump mix it for half a day. Rest of di water are kept for 1 week. No issue for my case.

Calcium carbonate is not very soluble. After a while, it will stick to the bottom. So the water which transfers to the main tank will lack of calcium carbonate
