I mean if they were opened and then the caps put back on like it was used. I wonder how long they stay effective that way.

i have you to thank and anyone who agreed with you on the no reactor needed. of course, great numbers doesn't assure that all is well, as i still need to scrape off some algae tomorrow. but it's not nearly as bad as it was. i'm glad for the general consistency of the numbers.
