Stresscoat 2Litre, which cost about the same price and works as good, is more value-added in my opinion.
Stresscoat by API really seems to be an interesting product to try out with the supposed Aloe Vera extract...
Saw it at work in Biotope on a batch of Apistogramma atahualpa (aka sp. Sunset)... All lethagically sitting on the substrate, and an hour after a dose of Stresscoat, they started fight!
Anyway, just sharing what I see, no vested interest or whatever...
Btw, one question to hitch on this thread... Noticed that Seachem Prime detoxifies Nitrite and Nitrate? How long is this effect? Does it refer to the organic nitrate from ammonia or the inorganic nitrate from our fertilisation?
Be it nitrite from ammonia or fertilisation, when we do a weekly 50% WC, the nitrite level will already be brought down to a pretty low & safe level.Originally Posted by valice
Errr... Think I wasn't clear in my thread.. I was more concerned with the effect of Prime on nitrate... Nitrite must never be a problem in stable tanks after your bio-filteration is established... It should always be zero when you test your tank...
eh think prime seachem and stresscoat got some slight difference.. prime removes ammonia, and detoxifies nitrite, nitrate..
whereas stresscoat detoxifies heavy metal.. but nv do anything about ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. correct me if im wrong
heavy metal as in carbon and magnesium??
Product description of StressCoat:
"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."
Nitrite should never be exist in a tank if your biological filter is mature. Hence my question on the effect of Prime on nitrate, which our plants need...
Heavy metal is Cu and Zn and blah blah blah... Carbon is not a metal... Not sure about the removal of magnesium though... But magnesium is a secondary macro nutrient required by plants... If removed, then might prove a problem...
