Stability And Prime

started a new tank today and added prime to the water and then added my stability. I forgot I had to wait 24hours before adding the stability. Is this a problem or will it still do the job?

 

You only need to wait 24hrs if you are using tss+. As Stability and Prime are both made by Seachem, they are made to work together and you therefore do not have to wait the 24 hours

 

Agree with above post, the TSS is the bioseed that needs a 24 hour period before initial dose after prime has been added. Stability can be used after the prime at anytime. Are you cycling fish in or fishless?

Hey man don't stress to much about stability and prime those 2 products are the BEST on the market good choice . You don't have to wake 24 hours. Once prime is added to the tank wait like 10 -15 min let your filter blow it around and mix with the tank and then add the stability and do it for 7 days . Make sure it's the same time every day . I actually added stability and prime everyday for 6 weeks with full bioload when I started my tank. If you only start with a few fish stability bacteria will only accumulate and grow for that bio load of fish. The more fish = more bioload and food for more bacteria to grow (with stability or bottles bacteria ) naturally not so much it's much slower . Anyways keep using prime and stability every water change and your good.

 

I just wanted to ask about this also...do I add prime and stability together in the new tank? Also could I add a betta while cycling?

 

Seachem Prime, all the way!

Could I use both together?

 

Prime and stability are safe together I wouldn't add a betta because they like warmer temps than guppies, plus, you don't want to put more fish through a cycling tank.

I don't have any fish in the tank yet.

 

Whoops, I confused you with the OP. Just do a fishless cycle.
