iv had two bad batches of dt,s in the last month. just bought the 30.oz a week ago of reef blend when i opend it it had brown chunks and had the worst smell ever when i called my lfs he told me oh well. oh well for 30 bucks when i just picked up a bad batch from him the week befor that. last time i buy from him but oh well have to try the reef nutritions.

That's what happens when it goes through too many hands or sits in a fridge too long. Keep in mind it needs to be shaken once per week in order to keep the settled plankton alive-I doubt the lfs is shaking every bottle once per week =)
I got a fresh bottle of DT's once and it was nice but I had nothing but bad luck with it after that for 4-5 bottles so I quit buying it.

DT's for me ALWAYS smells like green eggs and ham... so what your telling me is, "that aint normal."....lolz?...here is the most simple solution man can offer... if you all keep having this problem and the LFS will not accept the bottle back... well try this...(what im going to do) go to your LFS... buy the bottle and open it up and smell it RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRANSACTION before the person hands you the reciept. if it stinks...ask for a new bottle, and keep on doing so until you find a good one... im sure you might have to educate them a little about what your looking for but when you find a good bottle, they will know that they cant keep trying to sell people rotton eggs after you let them smell what it SHOULD smell like. Then....mabey just THEN they might want to hire someone else to shake those bottles once a week.
since they wont let you bring it back cause its a DEAD ANIMAL, more like 34,246,425,735,835,632,346 dead animals ( yes i counted
) ... you wouldn't leave the LFS with a dead fish in the bag.... dont take that dead bottle home.

i dident open it in the fish store if i did i wouldent of bought it i thought i could trust him as he told me he just pick up the shipment. but i know that it's not suposed to have brown crap in it floating and it smells bad in the frist place yea but this smell is beyond bad. but u have a good point i just might try that. but iv been thinking about the reef nutrition's line of prouducts. maby have to try it and see if i see i diff.
