API Stress Coat - Aquarium Water Conditioner

Instantly makes tap water safe by removing chlorine and chloramines, and detoxifying heavy metals

When fish are moved, handled or exposed to changing water conditions, their natural protective slime coat can be affected. API Stress Coat is a freshwater aquarium water conditioner that helps treat tap water while providing additional support for fish during stressful situations.

API Stress Coat removes chlorine and chloramines from tap water and neutralises heavy metals, helping make new or replacement water safer for your fish.

It also contains aloe vera, which helps replace the natural slime coat that can be lost through handling, shipping, fish fighting and other forms of stress. It can help support the healing of torn fins and damaged skin while promoting tissue regeneration.

API Stress Coat can be used:

• When setting up a new aquarium

• When adding or changing water

• When adding new fish

• After fish have been handled or transported

• When fish have damaged skin or fins
