Hikari Stress-X 3.8L

Hikari Stress-X

Developed to provide the hobbyist with a dependable water conditioner to remove chlorine while providing a number of other benefits to reduce fish stress caused by water quality issues.

A Tried & True Formulation

• Breaks the chloramine bond and removes chlorine and free ammonia
• Detoxifies nitrite and heavy metals (including copper)
• Boosts alkalinity
• Replaces only lost or damaged skin-slime with a component that is 98% of the composition of a fish's natural slime coat
• Adds essential electrolytes
• Will not inhibit any bodily function when used regularly

To condition water* for aquariums or ponds, add 1 teaspoon (~5 mL) per 10 gallons (~38 L) of water. Add before introducing new fish, invertebrates, amphibians, or plants. It can be used daily if needed. Ideal for use when shipping fish in bags.  
*Does not remove or detoxify ammonia or chloramines.

Use Stress-X™ whenever you notice damaged skin-slime coats or increased stress caused by injury to your fish’s protective slime coat.

Compatibilities: Compatible with all liquid and powder test kits. Not compatible with permanganate-based aquarium and pond treatments. Does not remove essential iodine (iodide and/or iodate ions) from saltwater. Compatible with chelated copper treatment. Does not affect fish or invertebrate respiration and contains no plant extracts.

Because we care: Stress-X™ is designed to support aquarium or pond fish that have lost their skin-slime coat or are stressed due to poor water conditions or water quality issues.
