What Does Seachem Stability Do?

Every established aquarium relies on beneficial bacteria living throughout the biological filter, substrate and aquarium surfaces.

These bacteria help process waste through the nitrogen cycle by breaking down compounds such as:

  • Ammonia
  • Nitrite
  • Nitrate
  • Organic waste

Seachem Stability introduces a specialised blend of beneficial bacteria designed to help establish and support this biological filtration.

This makes it particularly useful when setting up a new aquarium or whenever the biological filter may need additional support.

Helps Prevent New Tank Syndrome

New tank syndrome occurs when an aquarium does not yet have enough beneficial bacteria to efficiently process fish waste.

This can result in dangerous increases in ammonia and nitrite.

Using Stability during aquarium setup helps establish beneficial bacteria within the filtration system and supports the development of the aquarium's biological cycle.

Regular water testing is still important while a new tank is cycling.

How to Use Seachem Stability

Shake well before use.

New Aquarium Setup

On the first day:

Use 5ml for every 40 litres of aquarium water.

For the following 7 days:

Use 5ml for every 80 litres each day.

Continue monitoring ammonia and nitrite while the aquarium biological filter establishes.

Ongoing Aquarium Maintenance

For ongoing biological filter support:

Use 5ml per 80 litres once a month or with each water change.

Stability can also be used:

  • When introducing new fish
  • After medicating an aquarium
  • Following significant aquarium maintenance
  • When additional biological support is required

Ideal for Adding New Fish

Adding new fish increases the amount of waste entering the aquarium.
This creates additional demand on the biological filter.
Using Stability when adding livestock can help increase the population of beneficial bacteria available to process the increased bioload.
Always add fish gradually and continue monitoring aquarium water parameters.

Stability & Biological Filtration

Beneficial bacteria need suitable surfaces where they can establish colonies.
Aquarium filter media with a high surface area provides an ideal environment for these bacteria.
Seachem recommends using Stability with biological filtration media such as Seachem Matrix.
Together, the bacterial supplement and biological media can help create a stable and efficient aquarium filtration system.

Does Seachem Stability Need Refrigeration?

No.

The beneficial bacteria in Stability are supplied in a dormant state and do not require refrigeration.

When Stability is added to aquarium water, the bacteria become active and begin establishing throughout the biological filter and aquarium.

Stability During Water Changes

Routine water changes are essential for maintaining healthy aquarium conditions.

Stability can be added after water changes to help maintain biological filter performance.

This can be particularly useful after:

  • Large water changes
  • Filter maintenance
  • Substrate cleaning
  • Adding new livestock
  • Aquarium medication

Avoid excessively cleaning all biological filter media at the same time, as this can reduce beneficial bacterial populations.

Stability & UV Sterilisers

UV sterilisation and ozone can kill free-floating bacteria before they establish within the aquarium.

When using Stability during a new aquarium cycle, Seachem recommends switching UV and ozone systems off during the 7-day dosing period.

For Stability additions after water changes or when introducing new fish, UV or ozone should generally remain off for at least 24 hours.

Can Seachem Stability Be Overdosed?

Stability is considered very safe when used in aquariums.

Seachem advises that excessive beneficial bacteria are unlikely to cause significant problems, although very large additions may occasionally result in temporary bacterial cloudiness.

Always follow the recommended dosage where practical.

Seachem Stability & Prime

Seachem Prime and Stability make an excellent combination for new aquariums and routine maintenance.

Prime conditions tap water by removing chlorine and chloramine and temporarily detoxifying ammonia, nitrite and nitrate.

Stability introduces beneficial bacteria that help establish and support the biological filter.

Used together, they provide complementary support during new tank setup and water changes.

Seachem Stability & Matrix

Seachem Matrix is a high-surface-area biological filter media designed to provide additional space for beneficial bacteria to colonise.

Stability provides the bacteria.

Matrix provides the biological filtration surface.

This makes Matrix one of the strongest companion products for Stability.
