Will Seachem Stability help new tank syndrome?

So I found this strolling down the isle today and stopped to read it. I’ve been having trouble with new tank syndrome and I’m wondering if this will help?

I was using apI quick start, stress coat and stress zyme and recently read on this forum to use only seachem prime which I went out and bought right away and have only been using that since when doing water changes. Then today I saw this - Seachem Stabilty. Can I use Stability in conjunction with Prime especially while I’m enduring new tank syndrome? The bottle literally says it’s for New tank syndrome lol someone please shed some light on me.

 

Some people use it to help speed up a cycle. I've not used it myself so I can't say how effective it is.

I have used Tetra Safe Start Plus (TSS+) with very good results to expedite a fishless cycle. You just shake it really hard and dump the whole bottle in the filter. If it works it's essentially an instant cycle.

 

I use Stability for an initial kickstart, worked fine for me on my Axolotl aquarium....Phoenix is healthy, growing fast, more than happy.

 

I used prime and stability when cycling my latest tank and worked perfectly

I did too, worked great!

 

I'm currently cycling a new tank and have used both TSS+ and Stability in it. I added a full bottle of Stability day 1, a full bottle of TSS+ on day 3 (after adding Fritz' ammonia powder before any of it), and do daily doses of Stability. Today is day 6 with water in this tank, and I'm reading 10 ppm of nitrates and my ammonia levels have dropped by half. Personally I'd avoid the prime if you're doing a fishless cycle. I believe that it binds the ammonia, which we want available for our new BB colonies to set up and start eating. It won't kill your cycle, but I would think that it would slow it down.

I have fish in already

As did I when using prime and stability

 

Currently running a fish-in cycle using Stability and Prime in a 36g freshwater. To help the cycle along I lightly planted the tank with 6 types of plants, stocked with 5 zebra danios (who I plan to keep and build up after I know we’re in the clear) and a med sized piece of driftwood from an established tank from my lfs where we got the danios. I dose with stability daily and prime every other day, and I can adjust if water parameters get wild up to 5x. I have done one 25% WC on day 6, because the Nitrites popped up to 2.0 ppm, but have remained at 0.5 and below. The highest my ammonia has read is .5 on day 3 but has now been at 0 for the past two days. Nitrates are hanging out between 5.0 - 10.0. This gives me hope that things are moving forward in a positive light to a successful and lossless cycle lol. I can’t say it’s the stability/prime combo, the plants and driftwood, or sheer luck, but it’s working!
