How should I store API Stress Coat?

Store API Stress Coat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Cloudy water after adding Stress Coat

Cloudiness can sometimes occur due to the Aloe Vera. This is usually harmless and should clear up within a few hours. Ensure proper filtration.

Fish still showing signs of stress

Check water parameters (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate) to ensure they are within the acceptable range. Consider other potential stressors in the environment.

Product seems ineffective

Verify the expiration date of the product. Make sure the correct dosage is being used. Test your tap water to confirm the presence of chlorine or chloramine.
