Hi.

I have to do a gravel vac & adjust a plant some time this week. I know
that the advertising suggests that any time that you do something like
this you should add stress coat, but I'm wondering what the r.a.f. wisdom
is on this -- is stress coat as beneficial as it purports to be? I don't

IMO the stuff is snake oil - basically useless. From memory the chief
ingredient is Aloe Vera. Go buy a plant or a tube of the gel and put some
in the tank. It'll be a lot cheaper for the same effect.

I have to disagree with ya on that.
It's not "snake oil", it's a good product.
