A must for using tap water.
Stress Coat is a must if you use tap water to top up a tank or small pond. It neutralises chemicals in tap water and It doesn't harm any of the good bacteria in the water which help the fish with a coating on their body. We have used this on tropical fish and an outdoor tank with Goldfish without seeing any adverse affects to either. It also goes a long way so quite reasonable as per cost over its use.

Useful product to keep to hand
This is a go to product for my Koi. Used during the change in seasons or if any sign of flashing, it has help restore the health of my Koi after a parasite issue in Spring. Good value for money in a more economical size, it is easily added to my filter system for dispersal in the pond.

As a proud pond owner, maintaining the well-being of my aquatic friends is of utmost importance. Enter API Pond Stress Coat – a true lifesaver! Not only does it condition the water, but it also ensures the safety of my pets when used as directed. The 473 ml bottle goes a long way, and I've noticed a significant improvement in the overall health of my pond. The stress coat formula seems to work like magic, creating a protective barrier that keeps my fish calm and happy. I'm genuinely grateful for this product – it's made pond care a breeze, and my finned companions couldn't be more content. API, thank you for making such a reliable and pet-friendly pond water conditioner!

Excellent ammonia remover.
I have used Stress Coat for years in the aquarium and in that situation it is a reliable performer, although I tend to use Amquel now as it removes more 'bad' things. I digress. I have never used Stress Coat in a pond as for de-chlorination purposes I use a three canister water purifier. However, this summer I had a frightening ammonia and consequent nitrite spike in my pond. Usual water changes, more quick fix bacteria added, but to no avail. I saw that Pond Stress Coat was supposed to remove ammonia. The API web site was suitably vague on the subject, but I thought I had little to lose. Added 1.25 litres of Stress Coat to 5000 gallon pond. I took a water sample 5 minutes later. The ammonia was gone. Strangely enough, so was the nitrite, which I do not understand. I would have thought time would need to pass for bacteria to remove the remaining nitrite, but I'm not complaining. A very good detoxifying additive then. The only downside was the Amazon Prime delivery. Ordered Monday, arrived Thursday, not something fish keepers will appreciate.

Best bang for your buck. It's a lot of Stress coat for a little money. Works great at removing chlorine and protecting fish.

Es incredible como se nota cuando lo empiezas a poner en los cambios de agua. Los peces se desestresan por completo, se ven relajados y felices. Sus escamas se recuperan rapido y sus colas se mantienen perfectas. Me encanta!

We had to rebuild our pond and the goldfish that had lived in the old pond for a decade needed a way to acclimate. Following the instructions on this product resulted in not loosing one of our 10 or so goldfish.
