So I bought a 500ml bottle of microbacter clean to get rid of some algae, it lasted almost 2 weeks dosing two tanks the recommended dosage. Things were already looking better so I thought it worth continuing so I bought a 4 liter bottle to keep going and save some cash. Now the 500ml bottle poured out pretty cloudy with a decent amount of material suspended in the solution. The 4 liter bottle pours out basically clean looks almost like water. I’ve kept up with doing the past few days and haven’t seen the kind of response I felt like I was getting from the first bottle. Has anyone else run into anything like this where they buy a larger size of and the product seems really different than what you got in a smaller bottle? Feeling frustrated.

seems a CS question to BW is in order.

I have used clean before and was not "cloudy" more opalescent - but surely not clear

My bottle I have on standby is pretty clear even after opening it 3 weeks ago.

Editing to show without shaking and after vigorous shaking.
