Good product
Seems to be a good product and price. Only need half the amount of other water conditioners, so it goes further and cost less. When you have to change a lot of water, that is a big plus.

This product is just perfect. I have found that my cleaning routine with both my fish tanks is made easier with this product because of its volume and measuring cup on the cap.

Saved my Fish!
My goldfish was not doing well Sunday, after we upgraded him to a 20gal tank. He was looking sick before we made the move and I think the move made him worse. He was very still on the bottom of the tank, not eating, and his tail was very shredded. He was also being sucked on by the algae eater in the tank. To stop this, we upgraded them to a larger tank and we added algae tablets to his diet. My local fish store recommended your product and add 10cc that night and add 10cc every morning until the fish was doing better. Miraculously the gold fish is doing great and is swimming around and eating again! Yay!

Amazing Stuff
I have been using this stuff for 5 years. When I first started with fish tanks I had one heck of a time with getting water quality good for my fish. I have tried many other brands and API is by far the best thing out there! I have 3 fresh water tanks and API is all I use from the stress zyme to help keep the tanks clean to the tap water conditioner for water changes!

Great product
I have been using this product for a while now and have been really happy with it. Only thing that would make me happier with this was if it came with a pump so that it was easier to pour into the tank. Great price on it too.

A Must-Have
I’ve been using Stress Coat for years, and will continue to. Besides using it as a water conditioner, I use it as a supplement to build and maintain the slime-coat on the fish. It doesn’t leave any film or residue on the surface or cause the water to foam. Plus, it’s cheap!

Great product — easy to use. Use at water changes/additions to eliminate chlorine. Also use it when fish appear sick or when adding new fish to the tank. Works wonders!

Cant live without it!
I have a short piece of water hose off a yard faucet. Then I have a house water filter with a carbon cartridge that removes chlorine that I change once a month ( I have thirty trout size gold fish) and every time I do a water exchange or anything, I use water that I know doesn’t have chlorine to kill the fish. When I do a water exchange ( I have three huge tanks in my front porch where I keep the fish) I feel I am protecting my 15 year old fish! But just to be sure, I always give a squirt of Stress Coat as insurance in case I had gone too long without changing the inline filter. City water systems fluctuate too much chlorine and sometimes tasting the tap water tells me it is really too strong. I have used this water filter for years. It is by Culligan and I bought it at the hardware store. It has a place for the short hose from the faucet for the tap water to go into the filter and another hose connection for the long hose to come out from the top of the cannister. I run it from the back yard, wrapped in foam insulated pipe 70 feet around to the front of the house and up through the floor of my porch deck, which is enclosed. The insulation keeps it from freezing in the winter. I love Stress Coat, it is my insurance. I can’t live without it! I have three huge tanks in the front porch. The natural light comes in and I also have lights on. I always get passerby noticing my huge huge fish! How many fish can enjoy looking the deer outside and people walking by? The fish can also look into my living room from windows behind the tank and huge windows to the street in front of the tanks. The fish follow me when I am in the living room. They all turn and look at me watching tv. They say “Feed me, feed me! For the 3rd time today!”. I go through a lot of stress coat. I use quite a large squirt, more than recommended. It seems pretty safe.

Must have for aquarium health
I use this product every time I do water changes, adding new fish or just topping-off my 28G aquarium. Fish stay healthy and disease free. Petmountain sells these cheaper than local pet stores. Petmountain is great!

Andrew, Belmont MA on 2007/03/04
Great Product
This is a great product! I use this when I purchase a new fish, do a water change or when my fish are otherwise stressed out.
