Hi all! I just added 2 tiny ocellaris clowns to my BioCube 32g. I have a bottle of Dr. Tim's First Defense that had come with my fishless cycling kit.
Should I add some of this to the tank? If so, when? Can I add it right away along with my new clowns? I'm worried about shocking them/stressing them out. Thank you in advance!
 
Disclaimer, I have never used it. It appears to be a hit all product. Unless you have a specific problem that you are trying to treat it probably won't do much for you either way. These are its claims.
  • Reduces fish stress
  • Promotes healing, repairing wounds and fights disease
  • Vitamins help fight lateral line erosion (LLE)
  • Great for freshwater dips of marine fish
  • Chelating agent detoxifies heavy metals
  • Buffers pH
  • Neutralizes chlorine and chlormamine
  • Safe for invertebrate
Personally, I wouldn't use it. Better to just leave your lights off for 24 hours to reduce your fishes' stress levels or treat any problems directly instead.

Just my 2 cents though.
