API AQUARIUM START-UP PACK comes with one 1.25 oz. bottle of API STRESS COAT, and one 1.25 oz. bottle of API QUICK START. API STRESS COAT works to make tap water safe for fish, as well as reduce overall fish stress using soothing Aloe Vera. API QUICK START starts the aquarium cycle by adding live, nitrifying bacteria to aquarium water, helping to convert poisonous compounds from fish waste and uneaten food into harmless substances. Also allows the instant addition of fish. Plain tap water contains chemicals that are harmful to fish, and API STRESS COAT will neutralize these chemicals for a healthy start-up aquarium. Dose according to directions on product packaging. For use in fresh or saltwater aquariums.
