I don't want your fish to die if you just set up a brand new tank and are adding fish right away. **Q: Do you have to treat the water and then put it in the tank or can you do water change and then immediately add this stuff? I've been adding water and then this stuff rigth after in the tank??! Also- directions don't sepcify do you use enough ML of this stuff to treat all water in your tank or just amount of new water b…** A: You should add stress coat to the water BEFORE you add it to the tank, in a bucket. The correct dosage is 1/2 a ml per gallon so for 4 gallons you would need 2 ml. You can safely double or triple the dose to replace slime coat or for fin regrowth. You only treat the water you are adding (separately before you add it), there is no reason to treat water you have already treated. So yes you would just add conditioner to the 4 gallons you are replacing. But of course when you first start your tank you must add conditioner to all the water (before you add your fish) because that would be straight tap water that has never been conditioned. This is great stuff. Hope this helps. **Q: How often are you supposed to use this product?** A: I use this product every time I change the water in my fish tank, whether it's partial changes or full water changes. But the beauty of this product is how little of it you have to use (2mL conditions 2 gal). ## Frequently Bought Together - API STRESS COAT Aquarium Water Conditioner 16-Ounce Bottle - API STRESS ZYME Freshwater and Saltwater Aquarium Cleaning Solution 16-Ounce Bottle - API QUICK START Freshwater and Saltwater Aquarium Nitrifying Bacteria 16-Ounce Bottle --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/728721270-stress-coat-16oz](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/728721270-stress-coat-16oz) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
