Does anyone else hate the smell of flourish?

Is it just me, of does flourish just reek. I hate the smell of it so much. None of my other ferts smell except flourish. I try to hold it as far away from me as possible when I dose my tank.

I've never even noticed an odor but will check for one when I dose tomorrow.
I do keep my ferts in the fridge, though.

I really like the smell of it, and also Flourish Iron smells great.
But then, I love the smell of a bucket full of mulm freshly sucked out of the tank. To me it smells earthy and natural......good stuff.

Of SeaChem's liquid ferts, Flourish is the only one I see that needs refridgeration.

Should all of them be kept in the fridge??

Why does flourish need to be kept in the fridge?

The liquid nitrogen supplement can mold if not refrigerated. Flourish just reacts with itself to smell if not refrigerated, not harmful, but not pleasing either.

I talked with a technical rep at Seachem and was told that the only Flourish product that needs to be refrigerated is Flourish.

I haven't been refriging it, should I start now?

NJ Devils Fan - Yes, you should probably begin doing so. When in doubt, read the bottle.
