Real quick question about soluble fish and seaweed powders, can you make a gallon and keep it as a liquid? And will it keep? It's just easier to add liquid fish and seaweed in spayer and add water.

With my fish and kelp you must use it as it is diluted. I believe with the powder you must also do the same. Do not mix the kelp and molasses and leave it in the sprayer. It split my sprayer open when it fermented. Shannon

i would check with the company to see what rate of mix you need to make the proper rate with neptunes harvest 2oz of fish or kelp per gallon of water i would store any unused mix in an airtight container out of direct sun to slow the rate of fermintation

Good point on leaving tank open...even from the evening before. This is true of any organic material which may or should have bacterial growth when food and temperature are at the right time and place.

Fish and Molasses will run over due to bacterial growth. Best to also keep bottle lids open. Best to keep bottles on a cookie tray or in a baking pan just in case. They are not nice to clean up. Been there and done that.

There are basic differences in fish. At least three which are cold pressed (thought to be the best liquid) hot processed and dehydrated. Dehydrated could be from either processing method. One should read up on the differences by going to Google search. Don't just ask anyone. You should find out you are not just paying to ship water in the cold pressed liquid. You determine if the losses in dehydration are great enough to suggest liquid might in fact be the best buy after all.
