Seachem Stressguard 500 ml

Stress Guard is the premium slime coat protection product. StressGuard will reduce stress and ammonia toxicity whenever handling or transporting fish. Stress Guard binds to exposed protein in wounds to promote healing of injured fish and to reduce the likelihood of primary and secondary infections. StressGuard is compatible with all medications except those that are copper based. Stress Guard is not amine based and will not interfere with Purigen or HyperSorb regeneration. Stress Guard does not coat resins or clog filtration like competing “slime coat” type products can. What makes StressGuard very successful at healing is the fact that it contains protein active colloids. This protein active colloidal agent actively seeks out any wounds, abrasions, or places where exposed proteins are and attaches to this area to help directly deliver the disinfectant in the product and start the healing process. This protein active colloid, because it binds to the exposed proteins, also acts like a liquid bandage to the abrasion. Some products are marketed to be squirted in the bag when a fish is purchased. Those products are generally acidic, with some brands being a very strong acid. Putting such a product in a small, enclosed container with a fish often does more harm than any intended good. StressGuard has a pH of 7.0. It will not affect the pH of an aquarium, even at large doses. There are no other products on the market that can compare to the effectiveness of Stress Guard.

• Reduces stress when handling or transporting fish.

• Marine and freshwater.

Pack Size

• Pack: 500 ml
• Doses in the bottle: about 100 at the full 5 ml dose, or about 200 at the 2.5 ml dose
• Treats: about 4,000 litres at the full dose, or about 8,000 litres at the lower one — per single daily treatment

The bottle size is Seachem’s. The dose counts and litre totals are our arithmetic on Seachem’s published rate of half to one capful (2.5–5 ml) per 40 L — they are not a manufacturer claim. StressGuard is dosed daily until healing is complete, so one course uses several doses.

Safety & Precautions

• Turn the protein skimmer off while you dose.
• You do not need to pull carbon or other chemical filtration out of the filter to use it.
• Seachem state it is safe with invertebrates when it is dosed as directed.

These three points are Seachem’s own published guidance for StressGuard.
