Seachem Stability Fish Tank Stabilizer - For Freshwater and Marine Aquariums, 16.9 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

I use this when I do my half water Change. Keeps my fish healthy along side with the chlorine removal

I have read a lot of the reviews of problems people have had, while I dont agree with the claim of instant bio filter as in my 30+ years I have never seen or found any product that will actually create a full, stable cycle, only time and the miracles of nature, I do not believe any cycle that is rushed is stable enough to handle what is thrown at it! I do think Seachem would be wise to change that! There really is no shortcut to a proper cycled tank that could take up to 6 weeks! This stuff is really for the routine maintenance that it is more suited for like filter maintenance or gravel vacs anywhere or anytime you might loose Benifical Bacteria. I only use this during those times on my 90,135 & 220 gallon tanks and have had zero issues others have claimed which tells me there lack of understanding of the nitrogen cycle or what the product can really do! This product will no way cycle your tank it may help but too many factors contribute to a completed cycle. What this will do is help during routine maintenance to replace loss of BB as well as it could aid in any small spikes. I also will not deduct stars for bottles leaking and or damaged as others have done (guess they dont understand product reviews? If Seachem shipped then different story), as that has zero to do with the results of the product

I use this to fishless cycle my tanks. I combine it with Dr. Tims Ammonium Chloride. By doubling or trippling the dosage on both of these, I can fully cycle my tank in 7-12 days and its AWESOME! If you dont know what Im talking about, its very important that you study the Nitrogen Cycle and learn what it does in a fish tank before you buy any fish. I also use it when adding new fish just to make sure my beneficial bacteria colony stays strong and stable. And it really does keep things stable!

Works well. My fish are happy.

I have STRUGGLED with new tank syndrome in the past, even after cycling the tank for a month before introducing new fish. I finally decided to take a different approach and order this product. I went with Seachem because I have had great success using their Prime solution to dechlorinate the tank, and Im so glad I did! My water parameters have been on point! The second thing I LOVE about this product is, my water is finally CRYSTAL CLEAR! I know I sound overly excited about this review, but if youre an aquarium enthusiast, you know how frustrating these things can be. Ive tried everything from adding carbon filters, using Water Clear products (to no avail), even adding additional filtration to the tank, and NOTHING seemed to work as well as I wanted it to...until now! Id highly recommend this product.

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)

Seachem is my go to product line for all my aquarium chemical needs. Its worth the extra money...just trust me

Have been using this for some time now and detected no changes to stabilizing water or improving tank stability. I still add it just in case - because I have terrible water problems and hope this helps with the water cycle. I notice no difference. Also for those cycling a tank - do NOT cycle with fish in it, a far better way is to use household ammonia instead of fish to start the cycle going. Look online for the exact amounts of ammonia to add each day - and you actually make the ammonia rise and fall multiple times along with the nitrites until your last dose cycles and both ammonia and nitrites are zero. At that point is when you want to do a water change to get rid of the left over nitrates and just generally get the aquarium ready for your fish. Make sure it is just plain ammonia, nothing with a detergent added. No risk to killing your fish or sacrificing cheap fish to cycle the tank - how cruel and stressful to the fish. My tank lost its cycle probably due to adding too many fish at once. but Stability didnt help - 2 months of trying to get it to cycle and its just now producing nitrates - I feel bad for my fish who have had to suffer through this - if you do have fish in your tank make sure you use Prime daily (they say 48 hrs but I did it daily to be safe). When my ammonia reach 8 ppm I purchased AmGuard which very slowly has help lowered my ammonia levels.
