Ok, maybe this is a sort of obvious question, but I really don't know whether or not it's okay to rerefrigerate an already opened package of bio spira. The packages seem to be sealed so tightly that's it's definitely not something I could ireplicate with tape. Is it okay to use half a pack of bacteria, and then put the rest back in the fridge?
The reason I'm asking is because I'm going to start adding fish to my new tank this weekend. I am adding a school of Harlequins with an oz of bio spira on Saturday, and then I have another oz left. The place where I am buying fish is quite a drive from my house, and because I don't have a car, I can only get out there on the weekends. I know you can add a full load of fish with bio spira, but I don't want to acclimate them all in one weekend. So, my plan was to go back the following weekend and get my clown loaches to add with another half pack of biospira. Could I save the other half pack in case I want to use it to add new fish or in the event of an emergency?
Please forgive the longwindedness of this post. Despite the fact this is a secondhand tank, I have been spending SO much money preparing it, and I want to save as much as possible from now on. Those little packs of bacteria add up!
