Seachem stability

[Guy Clement]

Anyone used Seachem Stability to start a cycle off?

Correction: it's not to start the cycle, it's to avoid/complete the cycle.
It claims to have bacteria that establishes biofilter within few doses.
I personally don't believe in such products and like to cycle tank the old school way..

My bad wording on that one! Thanks

Quick cycle products aren't necessary and don't always speed up the cycle process. What have you done thus far so we can get a better idea of where you're at?

In that case you should focus on what additional equipment you'll need before then. You can get a jump start on curing rock in some containers with salt water, flow, and a heater. If you are planning on starting with dry base rock they often leach phosphates into the water contributing the algae stages for the first 6-10 months.

I already have everything, heater,skimmer etc. Live rock is already cured as well
