Seachem Stability, new tank stabilisation system for marine and freshwater.Quickly and safely establishes bio-filter.
Prevents “New Tank Syndrome”.
Seachem StabilitySeachem Stability is a new tank stability system for freshwater and marine fish tanks. It quickly and safely starts the bio-filter and stops “New Tank Syndrome” which is the number one fish killer! Seachem Stability adds the essential bacteria a healthy filter needs to ensure the health and well being of the tank residents!
When you set up a new tank you simply add Seachem Stability to the water and it fills your filter with nitrifying bacteria within 24 hours! This allows the fish keeper to add fish to a new tank from day one!
How it works:Seachem Stability has been specially made for the fish tank and is the result of nearly a 10 years of research and is the “state of the art” in natural biological management.
Seachem Stability contains a blend of billions of four species of bacteria. Two of which are nitrifying, one is waste eating and a fourth which simply eats nitrate. These strains of bacteria are cultured for the purpose of eating nitrogenous waste to reduce unsafe toxins in the water. These bacteria collect onto your filter sponge or bio media in your filter and start to break down waste organics, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate meaning your fish have the healthiest possible start!
The conditions needed for the bacteria’s growth and development fall into a very narrow range of temperatures, pH and organic load. When any of these are not in the proper range the bacterial culture quickly crashes and dies.
The bacteria used in some other products found on the market today can be unstable and may even produce toxic hydrogen sulphide.
Seachem Stability works over a wider range of pH or GH levels than other brands on the market. It is completely harmless to all aquatic creatures and plants. As a result, there is no danger of overusing. You can really never have too many helpful bacteria!
Waste ControlThe benefits of the exact strains of bacteria in Seachem Stability also vie with any likely bad bacteria added with the fish. This is due to the “waste control bacteria” eating any spare fish food and fish waste that is lying around. This, of course, leads to far healthier fish!
You should use Stability with a good quality biological filtration such as Seachem Matrix.
Seachem Stability is a biological additive designed to quickly establish and maintain a healthy biofilter in freshwater and saltwater aquariums, preventing harmful ammonia and nitrite buildup. It introduces beneficial bacteria that support the nitrogen cycle, ensuring a stable, safe environment for fish, and can be used during tank setup, water changes, or when adding new fish to promote long-term water quality. Boxes of 12\n\n\n
\nStability® is designed to quickly and safely establish a robust biofilter in both freshwater and marine aquariums, effectively preventing “new tank syndrome,” a leading cause of fish deaths. Its unique blend of aerobic, anaerobic, and facultative bacteria efficiently breaks down waste organics, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate, without producing harmful hydrogen sulfide. Unlike the unstable bacteria in competing products, Stability®’s bacteria thrive in a wide range of conditions, becoming even more effective when other bacteria die off due to fluctuating parameters.\n\n

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.

Overview
Nearly all pet aquatics companies manufacture a product that removes chlorine. None of those, however, can compare in quality, concentration, or effectiveness to Seachem’s flagship product: Prime®. Prime® is the complete and concentrated conditioner for both fresh and saltwater. Prime® removes chlorine, chloramine and detoxifies ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. It is non-acidic and will not impact pH. A further bonus for the reef hobbyist—Prime® will not over-activate skimmers.
Prime® is up to 5x more concentrated than competing products and is the second most concentrated dechlorinator on the market only after our own aquavitro® alpha™.
Prime® may be used during tank cycling to alleviate ammonia/nitrite toxicity. It contains a binder which renders ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate non-toxic, allowing the biofilter to more efficiently remove them. It will also detoxify any heavy metals found in the tap water at typical concentration levels. Use at start-up and whenever adding or replacing water. When transporting or quarantining fish, use Seachem StressGuard™. When adding new fish, use Stability®. Both are ideal for use with Prime®.
Directions
Use 1 capful (5 mL) for each 200 L (50 US gallons) of new water. For smaller volumes, please note each cap thread is approximately 1 mL. May be added to aquarium directly, but better if added to new water first. If adding directly to aquarium, base dose on aquarium volume. Sulfur odor is normal. For exceptionally high chloramine concentrations, a double dose may be used safely. To detoxify nitrite in an emergency, up to 5 times normal dose may be used. If temperature is > 30 °C (86 °F) and chlorine or ammonia levels are low, use a half dose.
FAQ
I think that my Prime® might be old because it smells like it went bad.
A: Prime® has a very distinct odor that is similar to sulfur which is completely normal.
I noticed some small black specks in the bottom of my bottle of Prime®. Is it still good?
A: The presence of small black specks occasionally occurs and is normal.
I am using Prime® to control ammonia but my test kit says it is not doing anything, in fact it looks like it added ammonia! What is going on?
A: A Nessler based kit will not read ammonia properly if you are using Prime®... it will look "off scale", sort of a muddy brown (incidentally a Nessler kit will not work with any other products similar to Prime®). A salicylate based kit can be used, but with caution. Under the conditions of a salicylate kit the ammonia-Prime® complex will be broken down eventually giving a false reading of ammonia (same as with other products like Prime®), so the key with a salicylate kit is to take the reading right away. However, the best solution ;-) is to use our MultiTest™ Ammonia kit; it uses a gas exchange sensor system which is not affected by the presence of Prime® or other similar products. It also has the added advantage that it can detect the more dangerous free ammonia and distinguish it from total ammonia (total ammonia is both free ammonia and non-toxic ionized forms of ammonia).
I tested my tap water after using Prime® and came up with an ammonia reading. Is this because of chloramine? Could you explain how this works in removing chloramine?
A: Prime® works by removing chlorine from the water and then binds with ammonia until it can be consumed by your biological filtration (chloramine minus chlorine = ammonia). The bond is not reversible and ammonia is still available for your bacteria to consume. Prime® will not halt your cycling process.
I am going to assume that you were using a liquid based reagent test kit (Nessler based, silica). Any type of reducing agent or ammonia binder (dechlorinators, etc) will give you a false positive. You can avoid this by using our MultiTest™ Ammonia kit (not affected by reducing agents) or you can wait to test, Prime® dissipates from your system within 24 hours.
How does Prime® make a difference in reducing nitrates?
A: The detoxification of nitrite and nitrate by Prime® (when used at elevated levels) is not well understood from a mechanistic standpoint. The most likely explanation is that the nitrite and nitrate is removed in a manner similar to the way ammonia is removed; i.e. it is bound and held in a inert state until such time that bacteria in the biological filter are able to take a hold of it, break it apart and use it. Two other possible scenarios are reduction to nitrogen (N2) gas or conversion into a benign organic nitrogen compound.
I wish we had some more "concrete" explanation, but the end result is the same, it does actually detoxify nitrite and nitrate. This was unexpected chemically and thus initially we were not even aware of this, however we received numerous reports from customers stating that when they overdosed with Prime® they were able to reduce or eliminate the high death rates they experienced when their nitrite and nitrate levels were high. We have received enough reports to date to ensure that this is no fluke and is in fact a verifiable function of the product.
How often can I dose Prime®?
A: Prime® can be dosed every 24-48 hours.
If Prime® is removing ammonia from the system, won’t that starve the beneficial bacteria?
A: Prime® does not remove ammonia, nitrite, or nitrate from the system. It simply binds with those compounds making them harmless to the inhabitants and still bioavailable to the beneficial bacteria.
How long does Prime® stay bound to the ammonia, nitrite, and nitrates?
A: Prime® will bind up those compounds for up to 48 hours. If they are still present after that time frame, they are released back into the water, unless Prime® is re-dosed accordingly. Also, if your ammonia or nitrite levels are increasing within a 24-hour period, Prime® can be re-dosed every 24 hours.
When should I use the emergency dose of 5 x the recommended amount of Prime®?
A: If your ammonia or nitrite levels are above 2 ppm, you can safely use up to 5 x the recommended amount.
Does Prime® expire?
A: No, as long as Prime® has been stored properly, it will last indefinitely.
My Prime® smells like garlic. Is this normal?
A: Prime® can vary in smell based on the parameters in the warehouse during the time of manufacture. It does normally smell of Sulfur, but we have extensively tested the product and found that the difference in scent does not in any way effect how the product functions. It is still perfectly safe to use!

Directions
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.

Product shelf life is 6 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™.
FAQ
When dosing Stability™, how long should I turn off my UV filter or my ozone?
A: The UV and/or ozone should be kept off for the 7 days you are dosing if you are cycling or for at least 24 hours if it is for Stability™ additions of new fish or water changes. The reason both should be turned off is because UV and ozone break down and kill bacteria.
What is a reasonable amount of time to allow the Stability™ to come out of the spore state and find a home to attach themselves?
A: The bacteria should be able to find a suitable home within 24 hours.
I just finished cycling my new tank, but i made a mistake of introducing many fishes at the same time. i was wondering if i could use Stability™ to increase the bb's for the increased bioload?
A: Yes, Stability™ will prove very helpful in removing ammonia and nitrite, including nitrate, as a result of the increased bioload. If your ammonia level is not at zero, a combination of Stability™ and AmGuard is very useful and great in reducing ammonia toxicity on the bacteria blend as the bacteria consumes the ammonia, nitrite and nitrate in the aquarium
Why does Stability™ not need refrigeration? If there's living bacteria in the solution, how do they stay alive for so long? Or is there something else besides bacteria in the product altogether?
A: The bacteria in Stability™ are alive but not active. They exist in a spore form. They can withstand extreme temperatures and do not require food to survive. When you add them to your aquarium they become active due to dilution.
The bacteria that require refrigeration are active. Refrigerating them slows down their life cycle and they require less food when cold. Because they are active they do require food, and that is packaged with them. They also will not survive extreme heat or cold and will die when they run out of food.
Can Stability™ be overdosed?
A: It is very hard to overdose Stability. You can really never have too much beneficial bacteria. The worst thing that could happen is a bacterial bloom in the water column, but this is rare and will clear on its own, should it occur.
I have finished the suggested 7-day dosing, however, my tank is still not fully cycled. Why?
A: Since every tank will cycle differently, it is difficult for us to give an exact time frame as to when your tank will be fully cycled. However, generally most tanks are cycled within 4-6 weeks.
If I plan to do a fishless cycle and use Stability™, do I need to add an ammonia source to kick-start the nitrogen cycle?
A: Yes, for expedited cycling times, you will want to add a pinch of food daily until you have an ammonia reading. At that point, you can stop adding the food and let the bacteria run its course.
