How long does unused saltwater last?
I mixed up way too much water this morning for my water change, about 10 gallons extra. Can I leave it with a powerhead to keep it moving for two weeks when I do my next water change?

I try to always keep a batch of SW on hand, you just never know when you need some in a hurry. It's gotten as old as a month or so (stirred with a powerhead and I keep a heater in there, too) before I ended up using it for water changes and I saw no issues as a result of it's "vintage curing."
