Prime question

[Snake_Eyes]

I'm was getting ready to do a WC and I opened a new bottle of Prime and noticed that it doesn't have hardly any odor, those that have used this stuff knows how bad it normally smells. I wonder if it's effectiveness is still the same, has anybody else encountered this before?

Maybe a new bottle doesn't smell so bad until you agitate the contents.

Not from all the bottles that I've used in the past.

I just got back from Petco with another bottle and it's the same way. I made a post on Seachems website to see what they have to say.

When I first bought my bottle of prime it didnt stink when I opened it, but a few days later it stared to smell.

I have never known prime to go bad, and I doubt it would. Watch the fish after you use it.

Maybe Seachem has made it so it doesn't have that wonderful odor anymore?

Never had a bottle that didn't stink. Did you check back later after opening it to see if there was still no odor? The only thing I could think of would be a redox reaction to the thiosulfates, causing an odor after exposure to O2.
