Aeration for newly mixed salt water?

How long does one aerate salt water for after mixing?
Can (or is it possable) one "over" aerate salt water?
Should one only aerate for 24-48 hours, or does it not really matter?
(Example, if I forgot to turn of the power heads that where aerateing newly mixed salt water, lets say for over 2 weeks, would it matter?)

12 hours min. 24 hours is ideal.
The only thing that can really happen is evaperation will raise your salinity. So always check the mix before adding to the tank.

IMO 24hrs is the min. It gives everything a chance to properly disolve and proper aeration and temp. and give you time and room to adjust anything that needs to be adjusted
