Hi everyone, just starting up tanks again after a fee years away from the hobby. I have been reading about starting a new tank, and have read that only seachem stability is proven to work. I ordered some API products, one being quick start, to start off the process (only to establish the tabk, won't use routinely once established).

Thoughts on API vs Seachem?

Thanks

They are all much the same, and the safest thing to do is a full fishless cycle with an ammonia source. See this article: https://www.fishkeeping.co.uk/articles ... hless-cycling-article.htm

Seachem Stability, Tetra Safe Start, and Waterlife Bacterlife (used with Waterlife Biomature) are all proven to work. They don't work every time, but most times they do.
