| Post subject: | Is Aquarium stress coat safe for AP |
Hi just wandering if anyone out there has used any products like stress coat for aquariums in their aquaponic systems. I had some trout deaths and can't seem to find the cause. Simple 1frowned times IBC with 12 trout now down to 8 Have got .0s nitrite and ammonia Ph 7.2 and have just salted to around 2 ppt pump running 24/7 with all the air stones I have running flat out. Found 2 more dead this morning and just wandering what else I can do. Would stress coat help.

Stress coat wont do anything for your fish... that salt wont.... It is supposedly a "dechlorinator"..... did you water change at all???... |

If I remember correctly on the bottle Stress Coat says "Not suitable for table fish". I also agree that it won't do any more for the fish than the salt will. |

(not for table fish...  )I know of one case where a client killed all of his fish... and the only thing I can put it down to.... Was that he used "stress-coat".... I wouldn't use it... and can't find a good reason to do so... |

How much water do you have and how much salt have you added ? |

700L water I added just over 1kg salt added. Fish have continued to die, put a gold fish from my smaller healthy blue barrel system and within 3 days all of its find look like they are rotted away. I think it may be a fungal disease or something. I've only got 2 trout left now and they are just swimming around the surface . How long would I have to run without fish to get a fungal problem out of the system. ? |
