It is fine to store freshly made artificial seawater without any stirring or heating, assuming the water you made it from war adequately pure. I store 88 gallons at a time in a closed trash can.

Used tank water is another story. It must be kept aerated or organics in it will be consumed by bacteria, potentially producing harmful substances such as hydrogen sulfide.
