So , how long can those stuff live inside the bottle if it’s not used yet ??
And if I start using it for how long can those phytoplankton still a live ??
And do I need to keep them in cold place after I start using them or once I recieve them ??

Thanks in advance
 
I by no means a phyto expert, but when I ordered some from AlgaeBarn in the past, they recommended:
  • keeping it refrigerated
  • Shaking it every day or two so it doesn't settle (if it does the stuff on the bottom of the pile will die)
  • And I believe its stated refrigerated shelf life was 4-6 weeks.
 
Not sure about that particular brand, is it live phyto? I'd follow the storage instructions on the bottle.
 
I’ve had it live a few months in my refrigerator. Make sure you shake it a lot. I have the best results when I dose daily. The pods and life in my system take off
