I used seachem stability along with some old bio pelets i had seeded for a while

What is the reading you are getting?

1ppm or higher every test had different readings

Here is a great article by @Randy Holmes-Farley. Check it out.

I have heard of several people reporting seachem stability did not help establish an effective biofilter. You may want to consider some Biospiria or Dr Tims live nitrifying bacteria.
