stress coat or prime

i guess i will start a new topic here on the shelf, which is better stress coat or prime?

I definantly like Prime better. and as for stress relief for fish all you need is a little aquarium salt.

I am not a fan of stress coat at all. It makes all these claims that really they don't follow through on and it is very easy to overdose your tank with it. I like Prime a lot however they try to tell you they don't have a bacteria base in it and that the smell is just because they use water that is high in sulfer or some bs like that. Their sales reps may not know a whole lot but either way it is a good product and it is the first that I would sell to someone.

I do now and have always preferred Stress Coat to any other declorinator! I have used several different brands in the past with varying levels of success, but I always go back to Stress Coat.

I agree with Pete,

Stess coat makes to many claims. The thing I can't get over is that there is aloe vera in it. I know it may do a little something to help, but come on, how many fish see a dessert plant in their natrual habitat. The only thing i put in my tanks and the only thing i will ever put in my tanks are salt (i can't recomemd salt high enough, except for with plants) and either prime or Amquel.

i use stress coat in my weekly water changes on my fish tanks and i use prime on my cherry shrimp tank and you are right peter it smells like some booty dude, hey wes are you still working at sandys..

Yes I am. And as a curtisy to my friends at Pets Galore im trying not to talk about Sandy's on here. But iI am still there and still ike it. I havent seen you there for a while.

aymen on that dude, you couldnt meet a better bunch of folk like you can at the galore, i swear i would love to just hang out there all of the time but my wife would trip dude..

what about that stuff by API its like stress coat but is only a dechlor and doesnt have any aloe in it, it is more like a liquid type than a jell substance?

I'm not sure. I havent ever used it honestly

cool thanks dude, i spilled some on my washer the other day and when it dryed up it was almost the same as a candle when they melt and cool down, thats is wacked aye..

pretty weird

yep i believe i wont be getting that again i will stick to the stress coat and prime..
