Reduce Stress in Your Tank

All animals including fish, shrimp and turtles react to stress in similar ways that humans do. Stress can weaken their immune systems and reduce their ability to fend off illness, resulting in poor health and body condition and loss of color. Minimizing and removing stress agents in the aquarium is critical to ensuring the health and well-being of all aquatic creatures by reducing the opportunity for harmful bacteria to grow and spread.

Changes to a fish's environment can cause stress that robs them of essential nutrients and can weaken their immune system. Leading causes of stress on fish and other aquatic organisms is poor water quality, bagging and shipping from the store to your aquarium, water changes, and new fish additions. DrTim's Aquatics First Defense for Freshwater Aquariums is scientifically designed to provide stress relief and naturally support fish immune systems with vitamins and immunostimulants.


First Defense contains a mixture of vitamins and immunostimulants that work together to help fish and other aquatic organisms adapt and cope when introduced to new environments and stress that can occur with poor water quality conditions. Consistent dosing after tank environmental changes is your first line of defense to support fish health, while also promoting healing and wound repair.

DrTim’s Aquatics First Defense works to provide nutrients that boost the immune systems of fish and aquatic creatures by neutralizing chlorine and chloramine, buffering against pH level changes, and detoxifying heavy metals. Our formula should be added to the aquarium during water changes and at any point when fish are showing signs of stress.

We recommend using a minimum dose of 1 teaspoon (5ml) per 10 gallons of water during new aquarium set-up, when adding new fish, with every water change, and after routine tank maintenance. *Caution: DO NOT add First Defense on the same day as Eco-Balance or Waste-Away.

Good coverage
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great sunscreen and when applied liberally my face doesn't get burnt. That has always been a problem with my skin all my life so I'm happy for that sort of coverage. The formula is a little greasy and there is a white caste but I use it to my advantage as it dims the red spots on my face and brightens my under eye. I try not to leave the house without applying.

Very glowy

I just opened this to try it so I can't speak on if it breaks me out but the expiration date is good it doesn't expire until next summer. It's not thick at all very liquid actually but not a messy. I skipped moisturizer today to see how the hydration will be. I have severe dry skin so we will see. Very oily, glowy, moisturizing. I used it on my face and arms. It left a beautiful glow on my face so we will see how long it's takes to soak in. No strong smell which is nice and it's a large bottle!

Very moisturizing but clogged my pores
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I like the texture of this sunscreen a lot, and it gives me a nice glow. However, it did cause me to break out a lot with small whiteheads so I had to discontinue using it.
