Neptune Aquatics

Neptune trident advanced replacement

You should email Jonas from abc. He said his reagents work for 3-5 years.
Jonas already wrote back and said one other person in Australia had the same thing happen with their B going bad after being left in a hot attic for a long time like I did in my hot garage. Apparently (go figure) he includes instructions to not store in high heat, but said thank you for the data point and he may refine his communication to emphasize to not do that and store in a cool dry place. He seems like a super nice and smart guy and I will continue to use and recommend his products.

That’s a useful reminder to the rest of us, since I store most of my reefing supplies in the garage and it can get hot
 
Define “hot”? Vegas hot or Oakland hot (possibly 90’s in summer)
How much do you care about buying new reagents? Chemical degradation is usually somewhat analog in that the hotter and the longer the worse it is. The reagent will be fine until it isn't. I would try to find an indoor closet floor if possible and I will be doing so in the future.

I’d prefer to not at all to repurchase reagents -but on the whole -temps in Vegas and Walnut Creek can easily get 100+ compared to where I live in Oakland that maybe gets 90+ a few days a year in summer so curious if that is fine or should I find an indoor space somewhere. They have been stored in the storage (unregulated temp) area for 3 years without incident -I believe.

That being said-how do you actually know when the reagents go bad?

I think Walnut Creek hot is similar to Las Vegas hot. Above 90F all summer, often 100F+, occasionally 110F. Not unusual for us to beat out Death Valley. Depends more on if your garage has southerly exposure and insulation. Mine never gets as hot as it is outside in the summer, but not unusual to be 90F inside the garage.
