Title: Water Conditioner
Post by: Peterhill26 on February 16, 2017, 10:42:08 PM

Hi all i am using Prime us my Water Conditioner but this have no Stress Coat in it so can i use API Stress Coat at the same time with the Prime or any other like Fluval Water Conditioner.

If using more than one product, I would be inclined to use one from the same brand ie if using Seachem Prime and you want to use the equivalent of API Stresscoat, then I'd advise using the Seachem equivalent which seems to be Seachem StressGuard, as it will usually tell you if the two products can be used together. If you use a different brand, you could run into problems. You may find these particularly helpful:

I won't use any dechlorinator that contains something to promote the slime coat etc. These additional chemicals aren't necessary on a routine basis, and some of them can actually be harmful, eg coating the gills.

They may be of some use for new fish that could have been roughly handled.
