How long will Reef Plus™ last after being refrigerated?
In the refrigerator, Reef Plus™should be fine for about 6-12 months after opening. If mold growth is limited to the surface, it is fine. Just skim off the mold. Q: Whenever I add Reef Plus™ to my aquarium, the redox level drops like a brick (from 380 to 310 or less) and causes my ozone generator to kick on. What causes this and is it problem? Should I turn off the ozone when I add Reef Plus?™ A: Yes, you should turn the ozone off, it will destroy the product fairly quickly. The organics that are in Reef Plus are beneficial (such as vitamin C, B12 etc), however most of these beneficial organics are reducing agents (by their very nature) and as such result in the redox level dropping in your system. So while redox is generally a good indicator of water “cleanliness” it can also often be misleading because beneficial organics can also cause a redox drop. Any reducing agent is going to be destroyed in the presence of a strong oxidizer (such as ozone) thus that is why you should turn off oz
