I purchased a bottle of Prime and it has a lot of dirt like particles inside. Don't know if it's normal or if Its a bad bottle?

Thanks
 
Yes. I get that sometimes, too. Hasn't caused any probrems. I was thinking I had caused it by leaving capfulls unattended and possibly evaporating, but I don't really know.

Congrats on post # 3,333. :D
 
Lol, for the congrats... Bwahahaa.

It kind of worries me. Never seen that in my Bottles before. I have 4 bottles n 3 out of 4 have it (last one is not opened invade I need to return it).

They smell different than reg prime, more salt waterish smell
 
Odd. It usually smells like sulfur to me. Never had a bottle smell different. Have you tried it on a tank? Maybe on a sample of water in a container?

It's normal, I have that too. I don't leave the cap off. Now when you have the spoiled smell with a bottle sometimes, it is still okay. Trust me it smells horrible. I took my bottle back to LFS and they all smelled the same.


I know the difference between prime n the ones I have now. Don't see an experation date on them n 2 smell like fish n the 3rd has a low to no smell... all nothing like Prime

So the Q is, would you still use it or just go to a diff store n buy some??

I accidently tossed one cap full into my 300 W/my VATF

I actually got the bottles from a member. I'm kind of sweating bullets right now hopping nothing goes wrong

Alright, thanks (Knifegill also).

First time I've seen that in the 4+ years I've been using prime.
I'm just going to use it on a diff tank n buy another bottle for my show tank
