Instantly removes chlorine and chloramines, making tap water safe for fish. Neutralizes heavy metals. Also, replaces the natural slime coating fish need in times of stress, such as handling, shipping or fighting. Contains Aloe Vera, nature's liquid bandage, to prevent the loss of essential electrolytes and protect damaged tissue against disease-causing organisms. Helps heal torn fins and skin wounds. Use when setting up aquarium, changing water, or adding fish.

This review is NOT for the "plus" version but the standard stress coat. I keep it on hand always to assist newcomers to their new homes. I find it works very well and although not absolutely necessary, using the product does make me feel better and more comfortable. It allows me to know that I am doing everything I can to ease the transition of new fish and assist to heal injuries in other fish.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):

Seems to work, gives you a sense of security
|
|
Cons:
|
Pretty pricy compared to Seachems Prime or some others
|
It seemed to work fine for my fresh tanks, didn't run into any problems with it, other than it ran out fairly quick and is pricey.

Works great to reduce stress and purify water after water changes. It's a little pricey but still my personal favorite.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):
|
Better for smaller tanks
|
|
Cons:
|
A little pricy compared to prime
|
I never had a problem. It's best to use for small tanks for more exact measures and on big tanks to use prime

Cons:

Can't think of any
|
I always use this for every water change. Easy to use, only requires one cap full for my 20 gallons. I used to use a standalone dechlorinator but figured the additional stuff in this can't hurt.

Less bang for your buck.

I used this for a while, and it ended up giving me false positive ammonia readings. I also observed a thin slime coat start covering my equipment after I used it. I no longer use this product, and threw away 75% of the bottle I had.

I've noticed that people HATE it when you point out how stupid they are, so now I try to do it politely.
