Reef Blend - Live Marine Phyplankton

[watercreature]

Hey Guys,

LFS sold me a bottle at the weekend of DT's Live Marine Phytoplankton, Reef Blend to feed my corals with.
Has anyone used this?? I just tried it tonight and it smells like rotten eggs/seaweed! Is it supposed to smell like this?!?

It said to shake it vigorously before putting in which i did but i didnt see much apart from green water when putting it in? Is this really gonna feed my corals??

What should it look like?

Rotten eggs and seaweed smell very different. If it smelt like seaweed then its ok, but if it smelt like rotten eggs then no its not OK.

pour a little into a clean glass, if there is still an odour its gone off. The bottle often contains dead cells which are exposed when the bottle is moved and then left standing. Often the user thinks the whole bottle is dead but 99% of the time its perfectly ok.
