APIPOND STRESS COAT Pond Water Conditioner, Safe For Pets When Used As Directed, 473 ml Bottle,White

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.

My fish decided to jump out the pond when I picked it up it was dry and sticky didn't think he would survive I wiped it off and put it back in the pond looked online and seen this can help slim coat added this to the water the fish survived and is doing OK

Fish friends needed a treat after first pond vac. Did the job. Friends are acting normal and eating. Water test all good.

Well I don’t know if it really works, but quite expensive

This is a great I always use this in my pond when doing a water change or introducing new fish I would highly recommend this

I use this with every water change on my tropical and cold water fish. Wouldn't use anything else
