Cheers Lucy,

I got mine through the post today and will be carrying out a 50% water change either tonight of tomorrow morning. Is it worth popping a few drops of stress coat + in as well as the Prime (huge 5ltr container, shame to waste it)..

If you're cycling with Fish, I'd personally just use Prime. There's really no reason to use two water conditioners.
If you're cyled and just using it to condition the water, either one would be fine.

Thanks Shawnie! I still enjoy stresscoat as it has helped me perk up a couple of sickly fish in the past! :P it really does do some good! I use amquel for neutralizing ammonia and such but with bigger water changes that may be stressful for the fish at times I like to use stresscoat and it doesn't smell as funky as amquel :P never had prime though! I'm gonna keep stresscoat in my arsenal!

I use stress coat when I have injured fish BUT Prime is used at all water changes.

I have had some really nasty injury's on fish and seen them recover using stress coat to swear by it for damaged scales and such BUT I also trust prime 100% with ammonia.

Both products have there place.

I think with so many posts in this sticky, we're losing the reason for it.

For a while several members were under the impression that Stress Coat+ neutralized nitrites and were recommending Prime or Stress Coat+ for mini cycles or cycling with fish.

After doing some research this was the conclusion:
