I'm not sure about smelling like soy sauce, but it does have a smell and it does get dark. That is usual. I think its probably from the vitamins.

Mine has a slight soy sauce smell. Friends of mine notice it too.

none of their other products have a smell, but flourish does. HOWEVER i think they also recommend putting flourish in the fridge when not in use... that might reduce the stench as well... never tried though

I emailed Seachem about this before.... the colour is normal. Refrigerating is to prevent fungal growth. If you get fungus, just skim off the fungus and keep using it.

I didn't ask about the smell, but mine does smell like soy sauce.
