API Pond Stress Coat 64 oz (MPN 140D)

Fish and Water Conditioner: The fish and water conditioner is designed to effectively eliminate chlorine and chloramine from water. These compounds can be harmful to fish, so it is important to remove them before introducing new water or fish to a pond. The conditioner not only removes these toxins, but it also assists in the healing process of any existing fish wounds. Stress Coat, a specialized formula in the API Pond Stress Coat Plus+, is capable of completely neutralizing and removing chlorine, chloramine, and the associated ammonia. Chloramine is particularly dangerous to fish as it combines chlorine and ammonia. While many water conditioners only break the bond between these chemicals, releasing the toxic ammonia, Stress Coat goes a step further. It replenishes the fish's slime coat and contains Aloe Vera, promoting the healing of damaged tissue and detoxifying heavy metals from tap water. It is highly recommended to use this conditioner whenever new water or fish are introduced to a pond. The dosage of API Pond Stress Coat depends on the purpose. To remove and neutralize chlorine and chloramines, add 40ml per 160 gallons of pond water. For larger ponds, use 1/2 cup for every 480 gallons of water. In areas where water supply companies use high concentrations of chloramine, it is advisable to double the dose for extra fish protection. To protect fish, add 40ml per 80 gallons of pond water. For larger ponds, use 1/2 cup for each 240 gallons. The treatment should be administered daily for 7 days, with the option to continue if necessary. Some foaming may occur during the treatment, and the product may become cloudy in the bottle when exposed to elevated temperatures. However, these changes do not affect the effectiveness of the product.
