I’ll tell you guys this, you will not be disappointed at all. I feed this stuff to my tank so I will trash it if not up to my standards.

The amount of pods in my system are truly insane from my feeding. Plus my tank is super clean. I do not feed my phyto miracle grow so buy with confidence.

You can't really tell but there is a light directly behind this latest batch :). Some SUPER, SUPER dark green phyto (and that ain't no dye either :D)

How long is the shelf life?

Phytoplankton will last up to 6 months if refrigerated and shaken frequently (meaning whenever you see the phyto cells settling to the bottle of the container). I just give mine a shake when I get something from the fridge from time to time.

Ordered a second batch. This just in today. In the fridge. You’ll see you truly can’t even see through it it is so dense. Thanks Mitch.
