Seachem Stability - For Freshwater and Marine Aquariums 250ml

works as advertised with no issues.

Helps keep my tank happy & balanced

El mejor producto para realizar un correcto ciclado a nuestros acuarios

I use this any time I set up my quarantine tanks. (Any time I bring home a new fish it goes in a QT tank for a few weeks to observe and make sure it doesnt bring infection to my existing tank full of fish.) I do use a cycled sponge filter from an existing tank but I dont want to risk killing my new fish. Just add this and it helps cycle the new tank. Unlike Tetra safe Start this is also safe to use with Seachem Prime which should be used with each water change to dechlorinate.

This Product helped to establish my Tank in 1 week. I read many people saying these type of products do not work, I will have to disagree. I cycled my tank with fish in it and this product with Prime 100% helped. I also did 25% water changes every 3 days and double doses Stability. I highly recommend this product for new Tanks and New Tank owners. I also Added Seachem Matrix and De Nitraite to filter media as well to help build up the good Bacteria.

Im new to the hobby. I had recused a betta with fin rot from Petco. He lived in a 1/2 gallon hospital tank while I proceeded to research everything there was to know about aquariums. I also had time to Amazon Prime his entire aquarium. Thanks to Seachem, my extensive research (the nitrogen cycle is an important thing to study), and Amazon Prime...I now have a fully cycled super healthy aquarium! This stuff worked great. I have a betta. They have a small bioload. So it took longer to establish my cycle....19 days. If I would of had time I would of done an ammonia fishless cycle prior to purchasing the fish. But I rescued him. And I didnt have that option. Thanks to Seachem Prime he was 100% safe throughout the entire cycle. Just follow the directions. Use Seachem Prime every 48 hours. And test your water to monitor your progress! Honestly it was a ton of fun for me to watch my progress. I fell in love with the hobby more and more every single day. Im so glad I found this hobby! I have the Fluval Spec 5 Gallon. And I did over dose the Stability by a few milliliters during the first week. Warning: This worked but also caused a major biofilm. It freaked me out. You will cloud a little bit at first. And develop a biofilm. You probably wont develop as sever of a biofilm if you have good surface movement. Since I have a betta, who prefers calm waters, I had to baffle the outflow nozzle to slow it down. This slowed surface movement combined with the extra dosage of Stability created the biofilm. However, as soon as your filter starts growing bacteria that film starts just disappearing on its own. Took about a week to fully clear. It was about 10 days before the water really cleared up and the film was gone. My cycle took 19 days. Bettas have a small bioload. This was a major contributor to the extended duration of my cycle....if I had a higher bioload it wouldnt of taken 19 days. If I had done a fishless cycle with ammonia it would of been super quick. About 12 days into the cycle I added a mystery snail. They have huge bioloads compared to bettas. So of course I dosed stability for 3 days. To grow additional bacteria in my biofilter. This also extended my cycle. Everything happened just as I expected it to. And I am a newbie. 100% newbie. Now that I am cycled I will continue to add the recommended dose during weekly water changes. I don’t think this would be necessary if you maintain the health of the aquarium. But it won’t hurt and is a good idea. I will also add this for a few days if I add any new inhabitants to compensate quicker for the increased bioload. Seachem is an amazing company. Their products are the clear favorite among hobbyists. And their customer service is amazing!!! Just head over to their site and send them an email. Or sign up for their forums. Or just go to google and search...chances are there is a fish forum somewhere with a user asking about the same thing youre wanting to know. This product is in spore form. It does not need refrigeration. Nor do you have to worry about high temps during shipping. Obviously you dont want it to be subjected to the elements more than it needs to be. But I know some brands are notorious for going bad in the shipping process. RESEARCH! Buy this. And have a great time with your aquarium!! This is a great product. Just do not forget to test your water. Most use the API Master kits.

It’s a good product but it too expensive for a home fish keeper

If there was 1 aquarium product id reccomend it would be this. Stability allows to make water changes or build new aquariums and I dont have to worry about waiting endless weeks or months for the cycle to complete. I follow the dosage for 1 week and the bacteria immediately start working. It makes aquarium keeping so easy.

I swear this product does nothing. Do not buy this an expect to be able to add fish like the product advertises. You will end up with nothing but dead fish and a bottle of useless liquid. I love Seachem products but this one is worthless in my opinion.
