One can detect the odor of sulphur when one opens the
bottle. It is harmless if not attractive.

An intersting thread is this:

Dr. Morin has posted several times in resonse to comments
and questions about Prime. An example of such a thread is
this:

and this:

and this:

etc.

One of the great things about SeaChem, besides it's great
