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. Unlike competing products, 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.
WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
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 does not contain any of the aforementioned bacteria.
The bacteria strains in Stability have been in development for over a decade. The necessary conditions for growth of our bacterial 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 works harder and grows faster! The strains function in fresh or saltwater. Stability contains both nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria, a blend found in no other product. Additionally, Stability contains facultative bacterial strains which are able to adapt to either aerobic or anaerobic conditions. The bacteria in Stability are non-sulfur fixing, another innovation in the industry. Most other bacterial supplements will form toxic hydrogen sulfide under the proper conditions. Stability will not, ever.
DIRECTIONS
Use 1 capful (5ml) for each 40L (10 gallons) on the first day with a new aquarium. Then use 1 capful for each 80L (20 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 40L (10 gallons) once a month or with each water change and whenever introducing new fish or whenever medicating an aquarium.

Why is Drip Acclimating shrimp before placing them in their new tank important?
When adding new shrimp into your established already existing tank it is important to take the proper steps in introducing and acclimating them into their new home. The whole process is extremely stressful to the shrimp The Drip acclimation system helps with this by getting your shrimp used to your aquarium water. Drip acclimation can help reduce shock, as the shock will affect shrimps and can lead to a shorter life expectancy, can cause death, causes stress, and chances of not eating. So acclimating shrimps by the drip method is essential to giving your shrimps a chance to survive in their new environment. Also, for any water changes in the future a drip system will assist, allowing a soft and gradual water change and not shocking the environment as especially Total Dissolved Salts (TDS) & PH must be kept within the correct water parameters and a sudden water change may disturb these parameters.
Plan and prepare acclimation:
Temperature Check
When first arriving home check the temp in the bag vs the temperature in your tank. If it is not the same, float the shrimp in a bowl or something that won’t let water in. If using a regular bag from the fish store you can float that.
Drip Acclimation Importance
Once the temperature is close to the same then proceed to acclimating the shrimp. Acclimating shrimp should always be done with the drip method. The drip method can be done very simply with airline tubing, a control nozzle, a bucket/bowl, and a shrimp net. There are also products you can buy out there that are designed to do the drip method. I would stick with the basic airline tubing one we stated above.
How To Drip Acclimate
Empty your shrimp from their bag or bowl into the bucket, including the water from the bag. Now connect the control nozzle to one end of the tubing and place that end in your bucket and the other into your tank. Start a siphon by sucking on one end of the tubing (Make sure the control nozzle is fully open, otherwise your risk looking stupid and your shrimp may laugh at you). Watch the tubing as it fills with water, try not to get any in your mouth, and use your finger to cap the end of the tubing. Now lower the tubing into your bucket where the shrimp are and let go. Take a moment to make sure the siphon is working then adjust the nozzle to the desired flow, which I recommend to be 2-3 drops of water every second. You want to 4x the amount of water in the bucket. So 1/4 is your bag water from the LFS (Local Fish Store) and 3/4 is new water from your tank. The key after you have done the following steps is to now wait… The dreaded moment of nothingness… It should take roughly 1.5-2.5 hours for the shrimp to be ready. The drip method helps to allow the shrimp to adjust to the pH and other water parameters in your tank. This prevents them from being shocked by sudden changes and thus reduces stress… This reducing stress thing must be important, we have highlighted it several times!
After You Drip Acclimate
Now that your drip method is complete you should now net the shrimp into the aquarium. Leaving your tank light off for the first 24 hours (the lighting will add unneeded stress), also as much as you want to feed these little guys... don't, they will be fine for the first 24 hours, lastly NEVER PUT STORE WATER INTO YOUR TANK! Putting stored water in your tank can potentially allow all sorts of unwanted parasites, bacteria, and fungus into your tank and this is not good!!

The Albino Bristlenose is a variety of the common Bristlenose catfish, a popular freshwater aquarium fish. It is named for its distinctive bristle-like protrusions on its face, which are used to help the fish navigate and sense its environment. The Albino Bristlenose has a white or pinkish body and red eyes, due to a lack of pigmentation in the skin and scales. It typically grows to be about 3-5 inches long, making it a relatively small and manageable aquarium fish.
In addition to its unique appearance, the Albino Bristlenose is known for its hardiness and ease of care. It is a peaceful, herbivorous fish that does well in community tanks with other non-aggressive species. They are also effective at keeping aquariums clean, as they feed on algae and other organic matter.
Overall, the Albino Bristlenose is a great choice for aquarium hobbyists looking for a visually interesting, low-maintenance fish that can also help keep their tank clean.
Ancistrus, also known as bushynose or bristlenose catfish, is a genus of nocturnal freshwater fish in the family Loricariidae of order Siluriformes, native to freshwater habitats in South America and Panama. The common Bristlenose is commonly captive bred appears impossible to identify to species primarily due to a lack of original locality information but also because tens of undescribed congeners exist.
Ancistrus species show all the typical features of the Loricariidae. This includes a body covered in bony plates and a ventral suckermouth. The feature most commonly associated with the genus are the fleshy tentacles found on the head in adult males; females may possess tentacles along the snout margin but they are smaller and they lack tentacles on the head. Tentacules, tentacles directly associated with odontodes, develop on the pectoral fin spine of the males of some species.

The Blue Eye Lemon Bristlenose Pleco is a member of the Loricariidae family. The fish species are often bred in aquariums and can be easily distinguished by its brown marbled pattern, which includes bristles on their facial area as it grows older. Both males and females grow these appendages with age starting from sub-adulthood until they become adults.
The Super Red Bristlenose is part of the Ancistrus genus of nocturnal freshwater fish native to freshwater habitats in South America. The Bristlenose is a great tank cleaner. This is one of the main reasons this fish is so common in home aquariums. They are great algae eaters and will help keep algae levels to a minimum.
They are very peaceful and generally mind their own business and are therefore suitable to live with most kinds of fish but consideration should be taken into suitable water parameters of tank mates.
The Super Reds enjoy vegetable bases food like algae and it is recommended that their diet is supplemented with Algae wafers.
