Prime Question

[dkpate]

I just opened up my new bottle of Prime yesterday while cleaning tanks, and I noticed little black things inside the bottle that would do...well...the best way I can explain it would be like shaking a snow globe.
Has anyone else ever encountered this? Should I take the bottle back and get a new one? I didn't use any of the stuff, just some other dechlor I had around. It kind of has a different smell too, but I could have just been overreacting too LOL.
Thanks!

That is normal for Prime. It is extremely concentrated, so it smells (like sulfur or rotting eggs), and some particles coming out of solution is common..

Ok, well this is my 4th bottle, and I have NEVER had little black flakes it it, and it smells like sulfur, but slightly different. Not like the normal Prime smell.

I just went & look at mine, and yes, there are small black "dusts" in the bottom. I notice that in another bottle in the past as well. Although if yours smell "off" it might be something?

That's what I am worried about. Maybe I will just try e-mailing the company and see what they say. Thanks!

[dkpate]

Water dechlor. The best one IMO, as most people on here would agree with me.

[dkpate]

Ok. I will try it and hope my fish don't die LOL.

 

[mgamer20o0]

if they do.... ill get you more from my fish club.... i use it by the liter for years.

 

[dkpate]

I know...it just smells SLIGHTLY different (I think) and it has those black flakes, which I haven't seen in the other bottles.
I don't want replacement fish LOL! I like the ones I have, they're funny.

 

[mgamer20o0]

they have desensitized me at the local wholesalers/transshippers lol

I don't want replacement fish

ill remember this one....

 

[dkpate]

LOL! So you have no smell anymore? LOLOLOL, that sucks.

I want to keep the fish I have, not get ones to replace them haha! Geez. I already lost my favorite one.

 

[mgamer20o0]

desensitized to dead fish. i fully understand to worry about them. i do every time i go out of town. just some times you can worry too much about things.

It was my BGK that I lost, I was/am pretty devastated....

 

[Jason7894561230]

Wow i feel like a moron for not knowing what Prime is but i guess i hve never seen it before as i am Australian. Elvis was the cutest BGK i have ever seen please dont bring him up *sob ='(
