Great de-chlorinator/water conditioner
Date: August 17, 2009
"This is a great de-chlorinator and water conditioner. You only have to use a little bit of it and it works instantly. I like to make sure that it is all in the water by stirring the water. This is a great product and can be used for freshwater, brackish, or marine. GREAT PRODUCT!"

Very good
Date: September 21, 2008
"It is a good product. It creates slime in the water to keep the fish from getting stress-related illnesses. I use this, Aqueon Water Conditioner, and Prime Ammonia Killer and it keeps my water parameters in check."

Ask The Fish!
Date: April 14, 2008
"I've heard a lot of good reviews about Aquarium Pharmaceuticals. So I said, "what the hey. I'll try it out." So far so good. I use the salt, stress coat and the enzymes and the stuff that removes algee bloom. The fish look healthy, the tank is clear and no more green cloudy water. The ONLY thing that concerns me now is the PH level is VERY LOW (under 6.5) I guess I have to buy ANOTHER Aquarium Pharmaceuticals to balance the PH."

Trustworthy!!!
Date: February 7, 2008
"I have used this brand of Stress Coat for years. IT IS AWESOME!!! The fact that this particular type can also condition your water is great, because it frees up some space in the cabinet. Another added bonus, the lid also works as a handy dandy measuring device. Choose this and you WON'T be disappointed."

Best Purchase Ever
Date: January 23, 2008
"When I first got a fish tank my fish were stressed out!
Like they were having heart attacts. So then I went to petco and asked a worker, told them the story, then they said to use stress coat. After I used it,I was hooked. I was so happy. Now I have a 20 gallon fish tank and I use it every time!"

great for when relocating
Date: January 20, 2008
"when we moved from our apartment into our house, we had to move 3 tanks ( a 95 gallon, and 2 10 gallons) and we had to move about 45 minutes away. we packed all the aquatics in there "movable homes" and when we got them to our new place, we put this stuff in it, and they readjusted just fine. this also came in very handy when we added more fish."

Star Product
Date: January 8, 2008
"I have been keeping freshwater fish since 1989 and have used Stress Coat for just as long. I add it to the new water with my weekly partial water changes. I also add extra whenever a fish has become injured or otherwise stressed. I have seen superficial cuts on my pleco's skin literally heal overnight with this product. And, my pleco is 11 years old and feisty as ever! I am also convinced that this product has helped me to maintain several generations of fish from one original pair of platties. I go through Stress Coat by the gallon, and will continue to do so."

Stress Coat
Date: January 6, 2008
"This is the only water conditioner I use. It works great...it's easy to use, it gets rid of the chlorine & chloramines, it reduces the stress on my fish when doing water changes & adding new fish, & it helps my fish heal. When I first got my 6 Neon Tetras, their fins were nipped pretty bad & in week or so after adding Stress Coat they had healed up...it's amazing how fast this stuff works, I highly recommend it!"

Stress Coat
Date: December 23, 2006
"This product is great it fixes damaged fins and promotes tissue regrowth. In addition to that it cleans the water of some bad chemicals and it replaces the fish's stress coat. I use this product all the time on my goldfish tank when doing water changes and it always seems to make my fish happy when I use it."
