houston Fish Guru You want what when? Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003	I'm not thinking it would be a good idea, but how much too much? What size of tank are we talking about? And what fish are in it? Just to be on the safe side go ahead and do an additional 20-30% water change on the tank, adding your dechlorinator... By the way why were you adding the stresszyme? Is it what you use for dechlorinator...sorry if that is a stupid question, i just don't use it...reason why i'm asking why you were adding it. heidi "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom."

It's better to do a water change. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

Always read the instructions first as various brands could have different dosages reason being the strength of the product. When & why, are you adding this "stresszyme" How much are you using? Into what size tank? Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do. I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT? VOTE NOW VOTE NOW

I would not worry too much about an overdose, unless it was something like dumping the whole bottle in. Then I think I'd do a water change. instructions for cycling are to dose on the 1st, 7th and 17th day.
