Ferka is stupid? Lols. Then Ada, brunowild brands are equally stupid as well as they use clear bottles too.

hahaha couldn't resist laughing sorry but so far i never had any problem such as this even though i store mine in non-dark places. care sharing what exactly happened so we can prevent this?

[marimo]

ya how did it happen ?
simple enough i think the pump allows air to enter bottle .. as air contains CO2 , contain supply of new CO2 in bottle promotes algae bloom with the fertilizer as host
am i right?

the bottle got minimum light exposure ,i put it in a pot together with other supply leaning against the wall , window light cannot reach.

Do fertilizer has expire date???

I do not know what to do with my " fa-mei " liquid fertilizer.
I put in the back end of my wardrobe to black out ...

If it works do share some information here. I wouldn't want mine to have the same thing happening to it during my NS time too haha. Although i never seen such things happening before

[marimo]

unfortunately it didnt work doing blackout , surprising i did pour a small bottle out for my friend lesser planted tank some time ago till i forgotten, his bottle also grew white fungi .. woo
