I keep it in a rubbermaid container, yes, with the lid on it when not in use. There's a hole in it where the air tube goes through, so it's not 100% sealed (just 99.9% :). I use an air stone bubbler when I'm etching, as well as an aquarium heater. I turn both on about half an hour before etching (i.e. early in the whole print/develop/etch process) but remove the lid at that time. I don't store the heater in the etchant, but I do leave the air stone in. I do have a vent hood over the whole works, too.
