What the source identifies

API includes aloe vera in the product description, links the Stress Coat SDS, and discusses protein skimmers in the FAQ.

Where the evidence stops

A broad water-setting statement has a separate equipment qualification. Stress Coat is also distinct from the similar-sounding Seachem StressGuard.

What to check on your bottle

Check the brand on the bottle and note whether a skimmer is in the connected water path. Save the exact FAQ with that equipment note.
