Im surprised my bottle isnt sealed and had no smell whatsoever!!Was the bottle you purchased sealed? Shouldn't a bacteria-filled liquid have a distinctive smell?

Sorry, I do not remember the bottle was sealed or not. But there is no smell, it is not the bacteria from some dirty places. It worked well, no lost fish for me. My tank was established without any fuss. Caution when shipping in extreme cold weather.

THESE BOTTLES DO NOT COME SEALED. These bottles contain LIVE NITROSPIRA Bacteria which are found in aquarium filters. Imagine vacuum sealing a bottle with live bacteria.

Hi Jen, With our product, the seal is on the outside of the bottle on the cap. There is not a seal on the inside of the bottle. There is extra padding in the cap that can appear like a seal, but no seal under the cap. Your bottles sounds like they are normal. Please let us know if you have any other questions. You can contact us via email through Amazon or via phone at 800-913-2116 and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. Thanks, Health Plus Prime Team

Just got a new bottle and it is not clear and smells like alcohol (my last bottle was brown and smelled like coffee), has anyone else had this experience?

Using my second bottle of this product Now and do not notice odd smell..just a light clean smell so i would send or bring your bottle back for replacement. This is an excellent produuct and priced reasonably compared to others.

My bottle was 'sealed' as well. When I looked closely I could see where someone had glued the cellophane to reseal. I was able to Remo e cellophane and replace to prove the point that to my wife. Very suspicious product.

Are you shaking the bottle beforehand? Other than that, sounds normal to me. It has a very runny consistency.

Hi Franny,I found the product sub standard and I cannot even smell it! My bottle came with a broken spray nozzle so I am not able to use it and I cannot return it. If I were you, I would NOT purchase this product from this source, be safe and smart and go to a reputable store.

Personally, I would exchange it. When I first opened the package, mine had zero smell to it. Absolutely none. Which is exactly what we're paying so much extra money for, right?! I would assume there's something wrong with yours. I absolutely love mine.

To be honest, maybe refrigeration is best. I got my bottle and could NOT take the smell. It smelled bad from the minute I opened it, and did not refrigerate. I tried to tolerate it because of supposed benefits, but I ended up emptying the bottle down the sink. It smelled like rotten bouquet of roses. I don't know if that's the way it smells or I got a bad bottle, but you cant go wrong putting it in the fridge.

It doesn't sound like it. I have never noticed an odor using this product. When I smell the odor in the bottle, it smells very light. I am sorry that you have had a bad experience with it.

my bottle is clear and smells like oranges. I would contact the company about a replacement!

The 2 bottles I've used have been light orange in color and without chunks. I would definitely question the freshness of your bottle.

I have never experienced this but everyone has their own sent of smell. There should be dessicant packs in the bottle to help with moisture which would probably bring out the smell more.

I bought the same product but didn't notice any such smell. That doesn't sound normal.

It may be a factory reject or it may be a fake. Regardless, somethings not right. Ask for a refund from Amazon. I did and they gave me my money back. I compared bottle I receives from Amazon to a bottle from Nordstrom and the 'Amazon' bottle doesn't smell same.

Something must be wrong with it, I've never had any bad tastes with any of the bottles that I've purchased.Maybe contact seller about a replacement.
