AquaForest Life Source Rusting ??

[youramigojake]

I've had this AF life source for maybe 2 months and have only used it on 2 occasions. I sealed it tightly after each use, including the bag inside. I went to dose some today and noticed the bag had this rust coloration all over the inside walls. I've know for a while that this product contains metals, but I never thought those metals would RUST. When I open the container, it smells of metal and rusty nails. I'm not sure I want to use this is my system anymore. I feel like this can severely harm the tank and the inhabitants. Has anybody else seen this and have had any effects? Is this normal? Let me know what you guys think. Thank you

That's odd. It never happened to me. Might have to reach out to them and ask what is up with that.

Thanks for the response. I just contacted their customer service via email. We'll see what they say

Mine has done this and I used it up anyway without any noticeable negative effects as I add it to sump- not directly to tank
