It depends on how long you plan on storing it, but an air stone isn't a bad idea for extended periods of time. Stagant water is prone to many problems. If it's for a few days, it doesn't really matter. Keep out of direct sunlight and seal completely if you aren't aerating it.

Since 7 gallons takes less then 1/2 a day to make even with the slowest RO unit, I recommend that you not store water for long periods of time, making (or buying) new batches when needed.
