API Stress Coat, 8 OZ

Professional Grade Water Conditioning & Healing

Every time you perform a water change or handle your fish, you risk stripping away their natural protective slime coat. API Stress Coat is a multi-purpose treatment that ensures your water is chemically safe while providing your fish with a botanical defense system. It is the only water conditioner that combines a heavy-duty dechlorinator with the proven healing power of Aloe Vera.

Key Benefits for Your Aquarium:

• Instant Tap Water Safety: Removes chlorine, chloramines, and neutralizes heavy metals that are toxic to fish, making tap water instantly safe for your aquarium.

• Reduces Stress by 40%: Scientifically proven to reduce fish stress, which is the leading cause of disease and immune system failure in freshwater and saltwater species.

• The "Liquid Bandage" Effect: Patented with Aloe Vera to replace the natural slime coat. It forms a synthetic barrier over wounds, torn fins, and scrapes to prevent secondary infections.

• Promotes Tissue Regeneration: Actively helps fish heal from fin rot and skin abrasions caused by shipping, netting, or territorial nipping.

• Freshwater & Saltwater Versatile: A single bottle is all you need for any aquarium setup, from tropical community tanks to complex marine reefs.

Why the 8 oz Size?

The 8 oz bottle is the "Hobbyist Choice" because it:

• Treats up to 470 Gallons: Provides enough solution for several months of water changes for a standard 29-gallon or 55-gallon tank.

• Emergency Readiness: Keeps enough healing power on hand to treat sudden outbreaks of fin nipping or injuries without needing a trip to the store.

• Compact Storage: Fits easily in any standard aquarium cabinet or maintenance kit.

Dosing Instructions:

• To Dechlorinate: Add 5 ml (1 tsp) for every 10 gallons (38 L) of new water.

• To Heal & Protect: To repair damaged tissue or treat stressed fish, add 10 ml per 10 gallons (38 L).

• Pro-Tip: Always add Stress Coat before adding new water to the tank to ensure the chlorine is neutralized before it touches your fish.
