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.

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

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

I always add a little to the water when I top up my pond. It makes me happy that my fish are protected.

it very forgiving and very good

Great product. New koi were very stressed when introduced which was causing all th3 fish in my pond to be stressed.Used this and fish were back to normal in no time. I will use this from now on everyone I add new fish.
