This product stabilized my aquarium very quickly.

Easy to use Great for keeping my sons tank super clean Very affordable Will purchase again

I have used Seachem Stability to successfully cycle 2 aquariums now, as well as to restore filter health after medicating or after very large water changes. This product has always worked well to establish or keep my bacterial filter strong and I will continue to keep a bottle on hand for situations in the future. I use it in conjunction with Seachems Prime to turn ammonia into a form Stabilitys bacteria can use. I really like how you cannot overdose it, so when in doubt you can just throw a capful in there then test a few hours later. I love all of Seachems products and use their products exclusively in both of my tanks with plants, invertebrates, and all sorts of freshwater fish with no ill effects.

I love this product. However, this vendor shipped it without a cap... not even in the box. Just saying. Luckily I have old caps to measure doses. But this is my favorite product for its intended use.

Works well

Im sure Seachem Stability works well to stabilize and maintain a biofilter as its advertised, but dont believe the hype that it will instantly cycle your biofilter. Sure, it can help get things off the ground by seeding the filter media with bacteria, but dont expect a colony of nitrifying bacteria in 24 hours or something ridiculous. When used with Seachem Prime you could probably reasonably perform a fish-in cycle in 7-10 days, but Im in the camp that believes a fishless cycle with ammonium chloride and live plants is ideal. Having said that I found significantly better results using Fritz TurboStart 700 to kick off my nitrogen cycle. Stability didnt get me any results after a week using their recommended loading dose and maintenance dose. Im somewhat certain it actually gave me a surface biofilm that Ive never experienced before when using it to start a nitrogen cycle. Once the cycle has kicked off, Ive diligently used Stability to maintain my biofilter by adding it with water changes and stocking new animals. Its never given me problems, but its honestly difficult to gauge how well it performs as theres no water test that can be done to see what kind of impact it makes to an already established tank. I suppose if you have a catastrophic crash in your biofilter or perhaps overload it you could measure its before-and-after performance with ammonia and nitrite tests, but thankfully I havent experienced anything like that. Ill continue to use Stability, Prime, and Pristine in maintenance doses as suggested because as far as I know, its working as intended, and making changes to a stable environment is a recipe for disaster. I just havent had luck with it kick-starting the nitrogen cycle. For that Id put my faith in Fritz TurboStart (or FritzZyme)

I have been hooked on Seachem Stability for a long time but put it to the test when we moved from Utah to Mississippi. I wanted to setup my 9 aquariums as soon as possible so as soon as this was done I started to Use Stability plus a dose of Seachem Prime every 48 hours. I immediately started stocking the tanks with fish, everything from Flowerhorns to a large variety of Cichlids, Plekos,Severums, Parrot Flowerhorns and Blue Dolphins. I have not had even one loss during the cycling, I believe its critical to use Prime in conjunction with Stability, and I have a Pearl Flowerhorn coming in soon that I will cycle exactly the same in a 55 gallon bowfront that I just set up today. Kudos to Seachem for another great well researched product.

Bought this because I was having trouble cycling my 3 gallon, heated/filtered betta tank (with him in it), and kept getting high ammonia levels, but no nitrites or nitrates, despite frequent partial water changes. And always ending up with cloudy water (despite using a different brand of water conditioner). I also bought Prime. I like how Stability can be used daily, and with Prime. My only complaint is that its hard to figure out exactly how many drops of Stability to use if you have a smaller tank, without doing tons of internet research. I ended up determining that I needed to use only 1.5 ml initially, then .75 ml for 7 days in my case, to help boost the good bacteria my tank needs in order to break down the ammonia. I use a 1ml syringe, but you could also use an eye dropper you can buy at any dollar store. If you use a dropper, a 3 gallon tank would use 10 drops per gallon initially, then 5 drops per gallon daily for 7 days (if youre in the same predicament as me). Then use it monthly or with each water change. Just be sure to shake the bottle well before use, and add the stability to the filter, not the general tank water. Apparently it works better that way, but Prime can be added to clean water changes OR directly to the tank if needed. Our betta seems to be tolerating both products well, and something has kept the ammonia level controlled finally. He seems to be happier now too, so Im happy. Since using both Seachem Prime and Seachem Stability, my tank is clearer than its EVER been, and I dont know which product is helping with that, but its wonderful!!
