Red Sea AB+.... No Good?

[Dquad18]

So while I was moving my tanks and aquariums supplies back to school for move in, I realized i accidently left my AB+ in the boiling hot car overnight, I assume itis proobably no good now right?

Good question. Suposed to be refrigerated. How hot did it get and for how long? I hope it wasnt full.

I'd probably say it's no good anymore. Give it a sniff, does it smell weird?

@Dquad18 I’ve researched this additive, contacted RS about it, and I am currently setting up a way to dose it. If the bottle is sealed it’s good to its expiration date whether refrigerated or not. Once open and refrigerated it’s still good to its expiration date. However once opened and unrefrigerated, it’s only good for 7 days. Since your bottle was in a hot car for a day I would put it in a fridge and just take it out to dose. To be sure I would contact Red Sea. I’m dosing this out of an unrefrigerated Voss bottle ~36mL per day per instructions. ~36mL x 7 days = 252mL. I should be using up an entire 250 mL bottle of Reef Energy AB+ in the 7 day window, no more, no less. Unrefrigerated. Just a side note: RS told me not to expose this supplement to light for very long, ie clear dosing container.
