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

Helped me to get my aquarium ready to add fish once the product helped to cycle my tank

I try to do a water change once a week, and add Stability each time in the recommended amount. It really seems to help keep the chemistry stable.

So far so good

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

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

my son told me about this product, he uses it for his 100 gal tank, i use it for my 5 gal tank. easy to use and works great.

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

My tank would not cycle until I quit using Prime, which makes sense if you think about it. If it ties up the nitrites and nitrates then what are the newly forming bacteria going to consume? It took eight weeks and multiple manufactures of this type of product including this one here to cycle my 75. At the time my tank cycled I was using Foster and Smith bacteria, but Im sure this is a good product and would have worked if I had not used Prime. Maybe my tank was about to cycle when I quit using Prime, I will never know... P.S. I use Prime and Safe on all my cycled tanks

great product

I used this to help cycle a new tank, and it worked well. It still took 2-3 weeks to fully cycle. The directions say theres no need to add more stability after seven days, but I kept adding the maintenance dose daily until cycling was complete. Be sure to keep testing your water if you have livestock in the aquarium, and dont just assume all is well after seven days. Do the first heavy dose based on the instructions and your aquarium volume. Then test every day for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. Ammonia will rise first. Once enough bacteria are eating ammonia, nitrite will start to rise. The next event will be ammonia falling to zero, but nitrite remaining high. Once enough bacteria are eating nitrite, it will fall to zero, and youll start getting nitrate. Once you have zero ammonia, zero nitrite, and start detecting nitrate, your aquarium is cycled. If you have livestock in the aquarium during this process, treat the water daily with Seachem Prime. Ammonia and nitrite are very poisonous. Prime de-toxifies them for livestock, but the bacteria will still eat them, so dont worry about Prime stalling your cycle. Also dose Seachem StressGuard daily until cycling is complete to preserve the fish slime coat. Do a 25-50% water change at least every other day while you have significant ammonia and/or nitrite levels. This will not stall your cycle since most bacteria attach to the filter media and aquarium objects, and it will help reduce the toxins while the bacteria colonies are too small to consume them all. I also use the maintenance dose of stability every time I do a water change, replace/clean filter media, or add livestock. In addition, I add StressGuard and Seachem Pristine, another form of bacteria that helps manage waste removal.
