Bad oceanmagik (used some before realizing it was bad)

BigMikeFlipz · Jan 11, 2025

Ok, so I know better to move quickly in this hobby, but my algaebarn delivery was delayed by 1 day and it arrived today and I went fast. I am trying to get a small refugium going so I read the instructions and dumped about 7ml into my tank along with a container of pods from them. I also ordered chaeto, it smells a little off but not horrible. Both containers of oceanmajik though smell horrible. I realize now after googling I messed up by dumping in, besides a water change there's probably nothing I can do at this point for my small tank I'm guessing.

Any advice? I'm pretty bummed with my first algaebarn experience.

Only 7ml unless it's a pico tank I would think you'd be good with a WC. Personally I think I would be hesitant to add anything with the word magik in the name lol

Magic ;
the power of apparently influencing the course of events by using mysterious or supernatural forces.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure a lot of people use it to feed their pods, read a good bit about it but somehow failed to realize it stunk like rotten eggs until i went to put the cap back on. It's a 30 gallon tank and about a 1 gallon small fuge hob. I'll swap out some water and pray for the best. Thanks
