Has anyone used this to cycle a tank?

[TRENT]

I have set up a few tanks using this product, two were a 180 and 220. Never any problems with cycling (the 180 was with a brand new sump no old media what so ever). I also use it to keep my sump from stinking. Any one else use this?

ive used this type of stuff a couple times, different brand but the same thing. And really didnt notice a difference if it helped or not.

+1 sea chem stabitly...used it after rookie mistake of cleaning filter media under tap water back when I started keeping fish, saved my fish

+1 more for SeaChems Stability. For a fully stocked tank, My water parameters are pristine.

Suckers. If you "need" to add things to keep your water parameters in line, you aren't doing it right. Never used a chemical, my nitrates never rise above 5-10ppm.

The sad truth is that not all of us operate at your level of competence.

i dont use it on an established tank, only when i want to get a new tank and fish but dont want to wait to cycle, or when i clean the media with tap water like i did the one time, if your not patient enough to wait for your tank to cycle u can put the fish in and use stability and your golden
