Question re: Phyto Feast and Oyster Feast

[mdpitts]

Quickie question - I'm so bummed - I left my new bottles of Phyto and Oyster Feast out on the counter last night. They've both been used just a couple of times for a new feather duster worm and yellow cucumber. The bottles were on the counter from 6pm to 7am. Did I just screw up? I hope not money is so tight for me right now.

I have done the same thing. I would not use it unfortunately.

It just occurred I could contact Reef Nutrition and I found this in their FAQ section:

"WHAT HAPPENS IF I LEAVE IT OUT OF THE REFRIGERATOR OVERNIGHT?

This commonly happens. If you accidentally leave it out, and it’s in a stable environment where temperatures don’t exceed 75F, then the product will be fine. But, keep in mind that this may shorten the 3 month shelf-life of the product, so try to use it up before expiration."

I keep my AC on 78 or 79 so I'm still on the fence.

That is directly related to phytofeast. I am/was more worried about the oysterfeast. Maybe contact them put it in the fridge until they get back with you. It may be ok but I remember both smelling off (compared to the way they normally smell) when I did this. Oh and it wasnt just once either.....

Good idea. And there's a great chance I'll do it again. I've not learned my lesson when making 2.5g of RODI water to top off my tank and had my latest bathroom flooding event just last night. Slow learner.

I'm right there with you!

Give it the smell test.

Smell test. I periodically give my PhytoFeast/OysterFeast/ROE/RotiFeast/PacPods a whiff to see if they are still good. Yes, I like Reef Nutrition.

Right on - I went home for lunch and performed The Smell Test. Not too bad. Of course it just doesn't smell good anyway but I think I'll be ok. It stays fairly cool in my kitchen on the north facing side of my house.
