    No expiration date on the bottle? How does it smell?

    ZooPlex is just mostly a vitamin product and cod liver oil will do a better job. Its supposed to have some larger planktons in it ? I'd assume it does but basically its just a high concentrations of Omega-3 fatty acids and amino acids. Again soak some good flakes in a zelcon or cod liver oils and feed and I think you'd have about the same thing if not better.. As for a shelf life ? i don't think it does. as far as spoilage it may like most vitamins loose some strength with age and time . If you have some then I'd use it up.

    Smells ok I guess...not bad smelling. I added a bit, the small fish seem to attack it well...so maybe it's ok. I've heard only about once a week maybe with ZooPlex. Anyone agree??

    I use it once a week. I think you can dose it every other day. The micron level is not very small and smells delicious!

    My SPS, especially my acro go nuts for it! If you kept it in room temperature, it should still be good to use.
