+1. Should be no problem at all. Are you using it to feed your tank or something else?

Set a timer when you feed your tank. When it goes off, check on the tank to make sure all is well. Turn off the timer in the kitchen, and you'll notice if you left food out on the countertop. That way you'll avoid food sitting out more than 5 or 10 minutes at the most (assuming you set the timer that long).

This is a great tip! I feel like it could be very useful in other (read most hahha) aspects of my life as well.

I'd use the smell test too. At worst, get a new bottle and smell that, and smell the old bottle to determine if they are different.

How long does a bottle last you?

lol its gone burried in the garbage now, but next time i will... this bottle has lasted for about 2 months... im thinkin about getting arcti pods this time instead of the phyto feast, my tank is mostly zoa dominated, has a few hard corals, some mushrooms, one lil maxima and a small rbta... and i have 2 cleaner shrimp, randalls goby, and a sexy shrimp...
