Tap water needs conditioning before it is added to a pond. API POND STRESS COAT is made for freshwater pond setup and maintenance, including water changes and the introduction of new fish. Its conditioning action also makes it useful when fish are damaged by injury or disease, helping maintain healthy skin and fins as part of pond care.

What does API POND STRESS COAT remove from tap water?

It instantly removes chlorine, chloramines and ammonia, and neutralizes heavy metals. The formula contains natural Aloe Vera and is scientifically proven to reduce fish stress. High stress can cause fish to lose their protective slime coat, leaving them more susceptible to disease; the conditioner also helps protect fish skin and promotes healthy skin and fins.

• Conditions tap water as it is prepared for pond use.
• Designed for freshwater ponds and fish including koi, catfish and goldfish.
• Pond professionals recommend API POND STRESS COAT.
