bad water??

[shinobi9119]

I just made a small batch of sw to do a water change on my qt and add a little more to my dt since i didnt have enough water 2 days ago. This new batch of water was finished yesterday but I opened my mixing tub and it smelt weird today. I dont know it its the tub or the water.
does this mean I made a bad batch? Should I still use it?

Can you test it for Nitrate, Ammonia, etc..?

Are you using Tap? if yes then i wouldn't use it. It's most likely a bad batch.
if you used ro or some other type of high quality purified water. How did you make a bad batch? was the mixing tub clean? was any additives/chemicals added to water?

Was the tub sealed? What did it smell like? Have you tested it?
