Not Just for Fish! Also Great for Plants!
I don't use this for an aquarium. In fact, I don't even have an aquarium. It was recommended by a plant expert to use in the water I use to water my plants. Hard, chlorinated water filed with chemicals is not good at all for plants and while it won't kill most of them, some of them end up unhappy over time. When I first heard about this product, I was skeptical. Could it really help with my plants? Well, upon researching, apparently so! It removes not only chlorine, which is in all tap water, it removes chloramines and heavy metals. They're all bad for fish and bad for plants as well! The price is low and I use just 2 - 3 drops with each gallon of tap water, immediately takes action. No waiting! I bought the 4 ounce size and at this concentrate, that much will last me years (and I have a lot of house plants. There's not much odor, it's clear and a little thicker than water. This is a no-brainer. I'm happy I discovered it.

Magic in a Bottle for Your Aquarium!
Having a home aquarium can be a tricky endeavor, especially when it comes to maintaining a healthy environment for your fish. This product has been a game changer for me. Firstly, the 16-ounce size is very economical. It lasts quite a while even with regular use, which is great for someone who doesn’t want to constantly repurchase supplies. The application process is straightforward and easy – just follow the instructions on the bottle. The most impressive part is its effectiveness. Since using this conditioner, I’ve noticed that my fish are visibly healthier and more active. Their colors are more vibrant, and they seem less stressed, especially after water changes or when introducing new fish to the tank. The product claims to reduce fish stress by 40% and it really seems to live up to that promise. Another major benefit is how it treats tap water. The conditioner neutralizes chlorine, chloramines, and heavy metals present in tap water, making it safer for the aquarium. This is crucial for the wellbeing of the fish and helps maintain a balanced ecosystem in the tank. Overall, I highly recommend the API STRESS COAT Aquarium Water Conditioner to any aquarium enthusiast. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced fishkeeper, this product is a must-have in your aquarium care toolkit. It’s a small investment for the huge benefit it brings to the health and happiness of your aquatic pets.

A must have
Stress Coat is wonderful stuff. One of my Orandas was laying eggs and one of my males tore off a few of the scales on her side overnight. I put her in a hospital tank with Stress Coat and she was visibly better within a few days. And within a few hours after the move she had settled down and wasn't as agitated. Definitely something every aquarium owner should have on hand.

Super Value Of Great Product
I've been using this stuff for years and I usually buy local but I saw the price , already had something in my cart so I added it to save me a trip to the pet big box store . I thought I was getting the usual small bottle and when it arrived and it was 16oz I immediately thought there was a mistake . I went back and looked and it was correct . I usually get 4oz for the same price (unless on sale) locally (big box per store) and I didn't have to fight mall traffic only to search forever for a parking spot . When starting a new setup , doing a partial water change , or just adding water this stuff is a must . I add 1 gallon at a time to my 50 gallon tank and the 1 gallon mark doesn't exist but I measured out the correct amount the first few times and now just approximate it using the cap to just about double what 1 gallon calls for . It works instantly , unlike some others , so I can do the needed addition at my convenience and the fish don't seem to mind the fresh water going into the tank . No color , no change in chemical and biological balances and no smell . If you've got a fresh water tank you need this stuff .

It’s more than for aquariums!
I started using this product in 2024 for my bamboo stalks that are in vases filled with tap water. My bamboos couldn’t be more happier and lovelier ever since! This 1 oz bottle is less than $3 and much cheaper than the similar products for houseplants. The water conditioner for houseplants can also be used for aquariums. So, why pay more when they do the same job?
