My plants don't do well with my tap water. Thanks :-)** A: I add this before every watering for medical cannabis plants. 1 mL per 5 gallons of water. Had severe problems before using this. **Q: What's the difference between the tap water conditioner, the stress coat conditoner & the stress zyme. I'm confused, do I need all three for my biorb?** A: Looking at the ounces needed per gallon, the stress coat treats 60 gallons per ounce while the tap water conditioner treats 600 gallons per ounce. It looks like the stress coat does more things to protect the fish, but the tap water conditioner will treat more tap water per bottle. **Q: I have had this product for about 2 weeks. In the past few days it began to smell reallly bad. It smells like old faithful. Does anyone elses smell?** A: i keep mine in the refrigerator to avoid that situation from happening. It is probably spoiled. First, check the expiration date on the bottle, if it is still supposed to be good, you may want to look around the storage area you had it in for local heat sources that can sour it, such as: periods of direct sunlight during the day, sitting in front of the heat vent, etc. These can spoil the product in short order. Like I said, I keep mine in the fridge just to be safe, (all my liquids for my tank are in the fridge, even tho they do not require it.) I hope that helps. for what it is worth, the smell I get from a fresh one has a tang of aloe vera to it, smelling like a swimming pool kinda smell, minus the chlorine. ## Frequently Bought Together - API TAP Water Conditioner Aquarium Water Conditioner 1-Gallon Bottle - API QUICK START Freshwater and Saltwater Aquarium Nitrifying Bacteria 32-Ounce Bottle - API STRESS COAT Aquarium Water Conditioner 1-Gallon Bottle, Model Number: 317163100851 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/665195-api-tap-water-conditioner-aquarium-water-conditioner-1-gallon-bottle](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/665195-api-tap-water-conditioner-aquarium-water-conditioner-1-gallon-bottle) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
