Stress Coat is a water conditioner. It removes chlorine, chloramines and detoxes heavy metals. It also helps the slime coat and soothes the fish.

Stress Zyme is bacterial booster. It's supposed to aid the the cycling of your tank. There's been some debate whether it actually works. Personally, I thought it was a waste of money.

Without a nitrate reading, you can't really tell if your tank is cycled.
