Konrad Ammonia Stabilizer SMELLS RANCID

[Po.Verse]

I just got this stuff like 3 days ago, and it didt smell like this. HOW DID IT GO BAD THAT QUICK?!!! And my dumb self put a LITTLE bit in it, like 1/5 of the dosage, will this hurt my fish?!!!

Chemicals and snake oils are a sham IMHO. A properly cycled, stocked, and maintained aquarium emits no real odors. The only thing I add to any of mine are Prime and ferts.

I only use stuff to control ammonia.

Ammonia shouldn't be a problem in a cycled tank.

You shouldn't need any chemicals to control ammonia in a properly cycled/stocked tank.

Why do you need it? Just asking.

Like my other thread about my other tank said, my GF put algae eater in, and it spiked the Ammonia!

well if your looking to lower the ammonia levels i would change the water before adding any chemicals

adding 1 fish should NOT spike ammonia. I've added 7 cichlids at once with no spike.

If your tank is cycled properly a single addition will not spike the ammonia especially since all of your tanks (minus the betta tank) are large enough to dilute any extra ammonia.

It shouldn't hurt the fish just do some large water changes to be safe.
