DT's left on the counter overnight = dead?

[ryantm]

I accidentally left DT's phyto next to my fishtank overnight, House temp is around 68-70 degrees. Should I toss it and get a new bottle?

 

[Johnsteph10]

Yes. It will spoil rather quickly.

 

[iCam]

It is probably spoiled. Smell it, and that should pretty much give you an answer.

 

[phishlet]

Yes. probably. Does it have a strong rotten vegatable smell? If so, it's gone....

 

[Paintbug]

they wont die completely over night. even if you keep them in the frige they will get that smell over time. they are constantly dieing, thats why you keep them in the frige to slow down their metabolism. they stay alive longer. you probably lost 20-30% of whats left in the bottle.

 

[sloshesv]

I'd be inclined to dump it.

I thought DTs always has a strong rotten egg smell.

Nah, it is supposed to smell more "algae-like" when it is really fresh.

how long can it last in the frige?
