"They eat and poop a lot."

1st day, I put product in tank with Fluval Biological Cleaner for Aquariums also. I have a 5 gallon tank, so that number was waaaay too high for me. It's a must for anyone who loves Goldfish. You have to understand when to use this product, and what is is used for. Very good product for an unbelievable price. Way to go Fluval keep up the good WORK! However if you want a stress coat, this is perfect.

"My fish kept dying."

The equation is already done for you if you buy Dr. Thanks to the Amazon reviewer who mentioned this! The aquasafe water conditioner is a fantastic de-chlorinator. I'm sold on this, I've tried SO MANY and wow. I read another review for this product saying they were using API for this purpose. The afternoon I received this product I added half a dose to each aquarium. This allows the conditioner time for its anti-heavy metal ingredients to work fully.

"No argument from me."

You need a source of ammonia to feed the bacteria which Dr. This product is exactly what it says it is. This is definitely worth trying if you have cloudy water. Crystal clear after changing water and adding this to my 2. I've used API water conditioner before and it works well. It just hasn't helped with the tint. I have had aquariums for 40 years and have always used their product Cycle.

Acurel LLC 6356 First Impressions

"Really good product!"

I was sort of nervous buy this product and trying it out. Beats the heck out of those expensive suit cleaners. When they disinfect a repair site, they are normally only using chlorine. My tap water is very heavy and this water conditioner does it's magic. But the septic tank bacteria did nothing. I have a great pump and uv light but still had cloudy-ish water. Pictures included to see the difference.

"Very little was eaten."

You have to understand when to use this product, and what is is used for. It's a must for anyone who loves Goldfish. Dunkin, my Betta doesn't seem to stress out over my adding this. Use a water conditioner that does not remove ammonia. The reviews on people fish dying really spooked me. More doesn't hurt anything, but it's just wasted. Just an idea incase someone doesn't have a spare dropper.

"Especially the Soothe."

Boy, I thought I was having trouble with my filter. Makes me want to get more aquarium's, lol. It's water change day so I did this step first then started cleaning the tank. Sure enough they are back to their healthy coloration and didn't end up dying on me. I tried it without the water change and really didn't make a difference. During cycling you will be using often. I've used it for years with great results.

"Great deal!"

I swim 5x week and usually my suits last about 2 months. If you have a freshwater fish tank, I highly recommend this product. If you're serious about fish keeping, always quarantine and always use Stress Coat! Pictures included to see the difference. I decant this to a small 5 oz squeeze bottle and leave the rest in the fridge. Fish would die occassionally every few weeks or so. It's a must for anyone who loves Goldfish.

  • Seachem Stability
  • TANK STABILIZATION: Seachem Stability will rapidly and safely establish the aquarium biofilter in freshwater and marine systems, thereby preventing the #1 cause of fish death: "new tank syndrome".
  • TREATMENT: Stability is formulated specifically for the aquarium and contains a synergistic blend of aerobic, anaerobic, and facultative bacteria which facilitate the breakdown of waste organics, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate.
  • BACTERIA GROWTH: The necessary conditions for the growth of Stability's bacterial strains encompass a very broad range. When other bacteria begin to die off (usually from high organic loads caused by the unknown death of an organism), Stability simply becomes more effective.
  • USE: Shake Seachem Stability well before use and turn off UV/ozone filter. Use 1 capful (5 mL) for each 40 L (10 US gallons) on the first day with a new aquarium. Then use 1 capful for each 80 L (20 US gallons) daily for 7 days. Fish and other aquatic species may be introduced at any time as long as the dosage is maintained for 7 days.
  • SAFE: The bacteria employed by Stability are non-sulfur fixing and will not produce toxic hydrogen sulfide. Stability is completely harmless to all aquatic organisms as well as aquatic plants, thus there is no danger of overuse.
