I'm getting back into the hobby again. I have a new tank, I start the cycling process and stick the ammonia badge on the side of the tank. It's reading < 0.02 ppm.

Sweeet I think to myself, pull out the old test kits, and test for nitrite and nitrate. I get 0 for nitrite and 110+ for nitrate... For a moment I'm confused until I realize that my test are expired. Quick trip to the petstore, new tests confirm this. So that has me thinking... if these tests were expired, what else do I have from my previous tank that is expired.

I look at all the bottles and I'm not finding anything on my bottles of medicine in terms of expiration dates. Does anyone know when the following medicines expire?

  • Methylene Blue
  • Melafix
  • Formalin MS
