how long is saltwater "good" for ???

i made some water about 10 days ago and i was wondering does it go "bad" like it doesn't provide the nutrients after so long ??

its been in a empty tank with powerheads

[Agent Jones]

its still good, as long as you had the powerhead on providing movement

I have read several posts about freshly made salt water being harsh on livestock. I always pre-make my water and let it sit a few days before adding it to my tank.

meh, that's debateable. I make 30g and swap all at once on a 75. I mix the salt with a Koralia 4 and wait for the water to be clear. Once it's clear (2 minutes) I use it. BUT, It pumps into my sump and feeds from there. I do not dump fresh SW right on to my SPS though.
