Seachem Stability Fish Tank Stabilizer - For Freshwater and Marine Aquariums 100ml

We wont use anything else.

Seems to work, at least to ease my mind. Always have used when starting my aquarium and after any treatments to the tank.

Been using this since we started our 30 gallon aquarium about 6 months ago, it seems to work great!

Greatest product to buy starting a new tank!!

Once again product didnt arrive on time, thats the reason for the low rating. Other than the late arrival the product works as specified...

I dont know honestly, if it comforts you- buy it

Love and trust Seachem. Betta loves it. I have a 2 gallon tank so this bottle will last me a little while.

This cycled my tank in two weeks. You do need to use Seachem Prime to do a 2 week fish in cycle. The trick is to neutralize the ammonia and nitrites with the Prime, rather than remove them through water changes. This keeps the ammonia and nitrite available to feed the bacteria you are growing. The neutralized Ammonia and Nitrites will still show up in your water tests, and will still be available to the bacteria, but will not harm your fish. I kept a close eye on my levels (and my betta, Gerard). I did water tests twice daily during the nitrite spike, and made sure I did not go more than 36 hours between applications of the Seachem Prime -- this was to keep Gerard safe, Prime only protects fish against nitrites for 24 - 48 hours before you need to reapply. When levels were higher than 2.0 ppm on ammonia or nitrite, I did a 50% water change as well as a dosage of Prime. This ended up being about every 2 days. Remember to dose the prime for the whole tank volume, not just the replacement water. I did not overdose, because I did not want the chemical to build up in the system too much. Some people say that the bacteria in Stability is not the same as the wild nitrogen fixing bacteria, and that you will need to keep dosing this weekly forever in order to keep your colony going. That may be true, I dunno. The bottle isnt expensive and it will last a long time, so it doesnt hurt to just do it at least until you run out of it. By then, perhaps you will be well established and can stop dosing it. If you are in a situation where you have to fish in cycle, as I was, I say definitely use the Stability with Prime method.

This product was a total waste of money. I couldnt have gotten my fish through cycling without Prime but Stability did nothing... and I used 2 bottles. One bottle of Tetra safe start plus worked literally overnight.

I’ve been using this for a fishless cycle, the process is still going very slow. I’m convinced this product either doesn’t work or I received a bottle that was mishandling, killing the bacteria. EDIT:: I take back what I said, it was my mistake that I was not shaking the bottle. I saw a difference in ammonia within one day when I shook before dosing! Remember to do this because clearly it’s important.
