Seachem Stability For Freshwater And Marine 250ml Description
TANK STABILIZATION: Seachem Stability will rapidly and safely establish the aquarium biofilter in freshwater and marine systems, thereby preventing the #1 cause of fish death: “new tank syndrome”.
TREATMENT: Stability is formulated specifically for the aquarium and contains a synergistic blend of aerobic, anaerobic, and facultative bacteria which facilitate the breakdown of waste organics, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate.
BACTERIA GROWTH: The necessary conditions for the growth of Stability’s bacterial strains encompass a very broad range. When other bacteria begin to die off (usually from high organic loads caused by the unknown death of an organism), Stability simply becomes more effective.
USE: Shake Seachem Stability well before use and turn off UV/ozone filter. Use 1 capful (5 mL) for each 40 L (10 US gallons) on the first day with a new aquarium. Then use 1 capful for each 80 L (20 US gallons) daily for 7 days. Fish and other aquatic species may be introduced at any time as long as the dosage is maintained for 7 days.
SAFE: The bacteria employed by Stability are non-sulfur fixing and will not produce toxic hydrogen sulfide. Stability is completely harmless to all aquatic organisms as well as aquatic plants, thus there is no danger of overuse.

Mr Foxi –
I’ve always trusted Seachem and their products. This is no exception. Having some big issues with cycling my new aquarium at the moment but this is proving to be helpful.

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.

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.

I bought a betta and put it in my uncycled and unseeded 10 gallon tank on March 29th. Not a great idea to do a fish-in cycle, I know – but I was committed to doing daily water changes if needed. I got this product and first used it on April 3rd. At that point my tests were showing some ammonia, no nitrite, no nitrate. I followed directions as described initially, but I had to do a couple water changes to keep the ammonia down, so I did a 5 mL dose on those days rather than the 2.5 mL, just to be on the safe side. I noticed a couple days ago that the ammonia was starting to go down without me doing water changes. Today, April 10th, was the final day of dosing according to the directions. I tested before I did today’s dose, just to see. My results were 0ppm ammonia, 0ppm nitrite, 10ppm nitrate. It usually takes 4-6 weeks for an aquarium to cycle, so I can definitely say this product works!

After changing water every other day during a fish in cycle, I finally got this product. Tank cycled within a week of using this product. FINALLY. Maybe it was fluke timing…. but I attribute it to this.
