stresscoat+ Will handle all emergencies without harming beni bact at all. As a starter conditioner there is no better. It is also a top shelf bandaid . jmo. I must say all this prime talk has me wondering if it's not better than stresscoat+. I'll stick with stresscoat+ for now.

I have both. I use Stress Coat+ more, though.

i use prime, its super concentrated

I use StressCoat when I have newer fish, or fish that have injuries or something like that. I've started using Prime for all waterchanges, because it is so concentrated that the large bottle lasts a long time, unlike most other water conditioners that i have to keep buying it every other month or so

Can anyone help me figure out this tetra product i found in a large store called tetra aqua safe? it does not have the word start in it's name. Just aqua safe. would/does tetra put out two different types of conditioners? this aqua safe is in a yellow bottle and has a very thick ,syrupy consistency. like 10w30 oil. i can't believe they would pit out 2 items with a name that close. i found tetra aqua safe. other people here mention a product called tetra aqua safe START. anyone?

Different online store DO NOT carry any product called tetra aqua safe start only tetra aqua safe. So i don't know where anyone here gets tss from. there is only aqua safe and it must be the one some people say jump starts the cycling proccess and also claim to use it to do 24 or 48 hour completions on cycling a tank. i'm sorry for going on and on about this but it's not good to spend money when not needed. especially with my wife watching what i come home with99% of the time. tetra aqua safe it is then. No start in the name. It does not indicate it will cycle water to completion in 24hrs. Although it seems to be a very good product , i just can't see where and how some posts here have indicated it will do that. I added a teasp[oon in each tank but will go on with a lenghtly , fishless cycle anyway. Not a shortcut as far as i can see but i'm no expert by any stretch.

slimfish, i answered this in 2 other posts, aqua safe is for water changes, safe start is for the cycle process, 2 different products with similar names

TSS= tetra safe start and is to cycle your tank
Tetra Aqua Safe= just a water conditioner when you do water changes
