Seachem Stability - For Freshwater and Marine Aquariums 250ml

Seachem Stability has been a game-changer for my aquarium! I was struggling with an unstable nitrogen cycle in my freshwater tank, but since I started using Stability, my fish have been happier and healthier than ever.The formula contains a blend of aerobic, anaerobic, and facultative bacteria that help to establish and maintain a stable biofilter in both freshwater and marine aquariums. I've noticed a significant reduction in ammonia and nitrite levels in my tank, which has led to clearer water and fewer water changes.One of the things I love most about Stability is that it's safe and effective for all fish and plants. I have a variety of fish in my tank, including some delicate species, and they've all been thriving since I started using this product.I also appreciate that Seachem Stability is easy to use. You simply add it to your aquarium water daily for a week, then once a week thereafter to maintain a healthy biofilter.Other Amazon reviewers have also had positive experiences with Seachem Stability. Many have praised its ability to quickly stabilize the nitrogen cycle in their tanks, and its effectiveness in preventing fish loss due to ammonia and nitrite poisoning. Some have even noted an improvement in the growth and coloration of their plants.Overall, I highly recommend Seachem Stability for anyone struggling with an unstable nitrogen cycle in their aquarium. It's a safe, effective, and easy-to-use product that has made a big difference in the health and happiness of my fish.

Awesome product! Got here in time and saves my fish.

If you are a fishkeeper of any time youve likely learned the nitrogen cycle. The health of your fish and plants depend upon it. Please research the niteogen cycle before you attempt to keep aquariums if tou want your fish to remain as healthy as possible.You need certain types of bacteria growth to convert harmful chemical wastes created by your fish and feedings. Till your filters and surfaces in your tank develop those bacteria colonies, you cant keep many fish as their own waste is poisonous to them and others. In a new tank without this bacteria, it can take several weeks to develop well enough to fully stock your tank without your fish dying.Stability is loaded with the types of beneficial bacteria your filters and surfaces need to season your tank and begin adding fish. With doses of stability in your filter medium and water, you dont have to wait weeks for the water to grow these bacteria. The stability product kick starts new tanks or refreshes older ones that may have had the bacteria depleted by medications or overcleaning.Stability doesnt improve how many of given sizes and types of fish you can keep. You still need to stick to not overstocking your tank. However, youll be able to get started quicker with Stability. The bottles Ive got from Amazon havent set around warehouses for months as they sometimesvhave at pet shops. Only buy what youll use within a month or so to be sure the bacteria you receive are alive and well. Dont heavily overdose the recomendations.Ive used Stability on my tanks for years to start new ones up and to help refresh bacteria colonies in tanks I jad medicated or completely cleaned out. Its always worked for me to add several fish within a day or two of tank setup.Perhaps a bit expensive but works great.

This is critical: if you use a UV sterilizer, turn it off while using Stability.Stability is a great product and the price is good, too. I've used it to jump start multiple aquariums with ease.I agree with the other reviewer who notes that it does an excellent job with ammonia but isn't quite as potent for dealing with nitrite spikes (hint: nitrite can be super-toxic). The good news is, it does a reasonable job with nitrite and you can pair your dosage with Seachem Prime for additional nitrite detoxification if necessary. Check your nitrite regularly (1-2x daily) while your water is cycling and add Prime with your Stability as necessary. The Prime label claims that up to 5x its normal dosage can be used to detoxify nitrite in an emergency. It works on nitrate, too, but that's not usually a problem for most species. Prime is also a great water conditioner for removing chlorine or chloramine.Recent example (perhaps this will help guide someone new): we have two adult Red Eared Slider turtles in a 75 gallon aquarium. Turtles create a *lot* of waste, much more so than fish. We recently had an issue where most or all of the beneficial bacteria was destroyed (accidentally), and the entire tank began cycling. Basically, it was like starting a new aquarium.We first cleaned out any excess waste in the aquarium, anything that hadn't already been captured by our canister filter. Then we soaked our bio media (Seachem Matrix) in a bucket filled with about 1/2 gallon of tank water and Stability, for a little less than one hour. The chlorine/chloramine in tap water will kill bacteria, so be sure to use water that's already been treated, e.g. aquarium water treated with Seachem Prime. After soaking, we placed the bio media back into our canister filter and performed a partial water change, adding Stability with the fresh water. We then continued to add Stability daily for 7 days, followed by another partial water change.Guess what? Zero ammonia. As messy as two adult turtles eat and with all the waste they make, the nitrite only spiked around 0.25ppm for a couple of days. Short-term this wouldn't hurt our turtles, but could harm fish. Regardless, twice we simply added a double dose of Prime to compensate. In aquariums with lesser load (waste), nitrite may not even be a problem. A good (read: appropriately large) canister filter is key. Also, don't assume you'll be done after 7 days. Keep checking your pH, ammonia, and nitrite until they consistently read zero. We usually don't check nitrate but depending on your species, you may want to research how much nitrate is allowable and check that also.All this to say, Seachem Stability does the job well, even under load. Pair it with Seachem Prime if you are concerned about small nitrite spikes or have exotic species needing extra care.One last thing: one 250mL bottle is good for about 7-days dosage for a 75 gallon aquarium filled to 50-55 gallons, give or take a little. It's also available in other sizes, of course.
