Seachem Stability

Description

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”. 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. 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 over use.
Stability® is the culmination of nearly a decade of research and development and represents the current state of the art in natural biological management.
The bacteria used in competing products are inherently unstable. The conditions necessary for their growth and development fall into a very narrow range of temperatures, pH, organic loads, etc. When any of these parameters are not strictly within the proper range, the bacterial culture quickly crashes and dies. Stability® is not limited this way. The necessary conditions for the growth of Stability’s™ bacteria strains encompass a very broad range. When other bacteria begin to die off (usually from high organic loads caused by the undetected death of an organism), Stability™ simply becomes more effective.

New tank stabilization system for marine and freshwater
Rapidly and safely establishes bio-filter
Prevents “New Tank Syndrome”

Shake well before use. Turn off UV/ozone. 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 dosage is maintained for 7 days. For optimum biofilter performance use 1 capful for each 80 L (20 US gallons) once a month or with each water change and whenever introducing new fish or whenever medicating an aquarium. Product shelf life is 4 years from date of manufacture.
Stability® should ideally be used in conjunction with biological filtration such as Seachem Matrix™. For emergency ammonia control, use Seachem AmGuard™.

Cycling a new tank in Singapore with Seachem Stability

Most new-tank losses we see at the shop come from impatience: livestock added before the biofilter is ready. Stability is the bottle we hand over for that. It seeds aerobic and anaerobic bacteria together so a fresh Singapore setup builds its ammonia and nitrite handling quickly, even in our warm 27-29C water where things move fast. Dose it daily over the first week, and it can shorten the anxious waiting period considerably.

It is equally useful as a top-up after a deep filter clean, a media swap, or a course of medication knocked back your colony, all of which reset progress. It will not magically erase a heavy ammonia spike, so keep test kit in hand and pair it with sensible feeding. Stored cool and out of direct light, the culture stays viable; do not freeze it.
