It may have already been old from a spring 2015 shipment. Hopefully it was not from 2014 stock.


Wow, thanks for the info. I have not received it yet. I will check it as soon as it gets here. It is a bacterial product for sure. I may pour some in.. Can it hurt anything? FYI, I was at the pond yesterday. With a northeast wind, the algae had all been blown into a small cove. I was able to net a lot of it out.

RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
