    I am always paranoid that was. If a product even appears to have been tampered with I take it back....

    my bottle was taped up over the cap, but it came from a major distributer so I figured it was safe, when shaken up it should be milky white looking, and be careful not to over does, I use it very sparingly and my coralline is coming in nicely after 5 weeks, on cap is enough for 50 gallons so it takes very little for a small tank...seems to work, or I just got some good stuff happening on its own. I dont use it everyday though. I put alot more trust in my daily does of kent marine 2 part nano which keeps the trace elements right, they also make a 2 part that is stronger for larger tanks, I'd say anything under 40 gallons I'd use the nano

    Well I just got back from Petsmart and they refunded my money no problem's, just asked why the return. I told them there wasn't a seal and I wasn't going to take the risk, so I wanted a new one with a seal. Well they only had one more and would you believe NO SEAL so I just got my money back and end of story......well just looking around for about 20min's and look who it is..the same guy putting the bottle back on the shelf I just can't believe it.
