| Q:
Is StressGuard compatible with Cupramine?
A: StressGuard or any product that contains an aldehyde
is not compatible with any copper remedy on the market.
Aldehydes are reducing agents that will reduce copper to
a toxic state.
Q:
When using StressGuard, does one add the recommended amount
one time only and with water changes or do you repeat the
dosage daily...or other?
A: StressGuard is safe to use every 24 hours (the active
ingredient dissipates in a 24 hour period)
Q:
Will carbon remove it from the water?
A: carbon will not have a significant impact on the active
ingredient.
Q:
Awhile back when posting to the Freshwater Forum and mentioning
the success I had with water changes and healing (adding
Stressguard along with daily water changes), someone responded
to me saying that Stressguard works by being an irritant
to the fish....the irritation being the cause of increased
slime coat production. I am wondering if this is true or
not.
A: StressGuard does not contain anything to "irritate"
fish into producing more slime. 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. |
