Should be a date 100% I hope they didn't wipe it off and sell you an expired bottle.

If you suspect algea growing in your reservoir you have a light leak to it which is not good. I use both hydrogaurd and great white shark for my roots. They love it

They have a factory stamp on it. Trying to look for it. Sr2168320101a-2 I have a new bottle too and has a similar code no date though

Algae from light leaks will be green. Diatoms will be brown dont need light and feed off silica. If its slimey its bacteria and can be white, brown or even green (cynobateria)
This is a bacterial infection of the roots (likely pythium) the strain bacillus amyloliquefaciens (active ingredient in hydrogaurd) will kill and prevent pythium and has been used in big agriculture for a long time for that exact purpose.

I'll try to find where but check the bottom. It's also only good for 6 months after opening and if it freezes its garbage.

If there is no date I would ask for full refund and order elsewhere

Yup they changed the date codes so there are in that code that bottled expired Aug5 2020
The first 3 numbers are the number of days in that year 216 (first 3 numbers) is Aug5. The next number is the last number for the year 2018. It has a 2 yr shelf life

Lol I can't win. The hydroguard from Walmart is also expired. Canceled immediately. Read reviews of the great white on Amazon and they aren't expired so im going to give that a try and it will be here the 8th!
