Api quick start
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved this stuff, instead of having to pull out all the ph stuff I added this when I changed the filters and added water for my fishie. Appearance is clear and gives great clarity to the water very clear. The is 10ml per 10 gallons so the bottle last for a while. It's very quiet to pour and I believe the durability is long-lasting.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product made the entire integration process incredibly smooth and efficient. The instruction is clear, and easy to follow even for someone who new to this hobby. I was able to get up and running in a short amount of time without confusion or unnecessary back and forth. My fish really love it. I used it everytime i change my water. It’s reliable and less stressful when using this product. I never seem anything wrong when I started using this product. I am highly recommend this product especially when you want to start brand new fish tank. This product is the most important product you need to buy before adding fish

Beginer friendly.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] API Quick Start is a reliable and convenient solution for anyone setting up a new aquarium or maintaining water quality. This product contains live nitrifying bacteria that help quickly establish the biological filter, reducing harmful ammonia and nitrite levels. It works fast, allowing you to safety introduce fish without waiting through a long cycling process. The liquid is easy to use, with clear dosing instructions that make it beginner-friendly. I noticed improved water stability within a short time, and my fish seemed less stressed. It is a great choice for both new tank setups and routine maintenance.

Swim Nemo, swim!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first I was a little leery to trying this product because of the mixture of views, but once I did my homework, I realized that all it was going to do was take the harsh chemicals out of water. I waited until it was time to completely change the water in my fish tank to use this product and it worked out great. The levels are good and the fish are happy. Great product

I am buying the API Stress Coat Aquarium Water Conditioner, 4 oz. & I am new to this whole fish experience, I will have a tank of gold fish and then a tank with 2 betas (split tank). Should I buy this too? Any other recommendations? Tips?
- Unless you haven’t cycled your tank already then yes you need this.

How much per gallon?
- 1ml per gallon. I got one of those medicine droppers from CVS - just asked the pharmacist - and its perfect for measuring out the smaller tank quantities.

What is the difference between Quick Start and Stress Zyme? Which is better?
- Thank you for your question. Stress Zyme helps keep a naturally balanced aquarium by eliminating sludge build-up & preventing ammonia & nitrite poisoning, low oxygen levels, and low pH. Quick start is a water treatment liquid immediately starts the nitrogen cycle in your aquarium, limits toxic ammonia and nitrite in aquarium water.

Uses
- Best used when changing anything - so, new media, add some. Water change, add some. Topping off, add some. Even when adding new fish I put in a bit to give the tank a boost.
