can I use this with my live plant tank? will it bad for the live plant?

People are using this to treat tap water before watering plants so with that being, yes I think it's safe for live plant tanks.

Does this clean the water right away so i can add fish right after or wait for it to settle

It treats the water instantly, but if this is a brand new tank, please read up about cycling your tank... I don't want your fish to die if you just set up a brand new tank and are adding fish right away.

Do you have to treat the water and then put it in the tank or can you do water change and then immediately add this stuff? I've been adding water and then this stuff rigth after in the tank??! Also- directions don't sepcify do you use enough ML of this stuff to treat all water in your tank or just amount of new water b…

You should add stress coat to the water BEFORE you add it to the tank, in a bucket. The correct dosage is 1/2 a ml per gallon so for 4 gallons you would need 2 ml. You can safely double or triple the dose to replace slime coat or for fin regrowth. You only treat the water you are adding (separately before you add it), there is no reason to treat water you have already treated. So yes you would just add conditioner to the 4 gallons you are replacing. But of course when you first start your tank you must add conditioner to all the water (before you add your fish) because that would be straight tap water that has never been conditioned. This is great stuff. Hope this helps.

How often are you supposed to use this product?

I use this product every time I change the water in my fish tank, whether it's partial changes or full water changes. But the beauty of this product is how little of it you have to use (2mL conditions 2 gal).
