I got a bottle of Seachem's Prime. I know the disgusting odor is normal but what about those black specs in it. I read about it but cant remember what they are for. Another thing i bought is some Biozyme. I bought this because i will be changing my substrate on saturday. The Biozyme looks and smells like sawdust. Is this normal? I added a little bit of the "sawdust and it seemed like the fish ate it. Will this be a problem when trying to add some after i change my gravel?

I can't help you with the Prime, but I don't think it should have black specs in it For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks. - Terry Pratchett

It is a completely clear liquid. Something is wrong with your bottle. Are you sure it was completely closed when you got it? And some of us like the smell of Prime (or is that just me ).

Just went to the Seachem support page and saw the first FAQ: http://seachem.com/support/FAQs/Prime_faq.html Probably something precipated from the sulfur. -P
