Pros

  • Add some wood or rocks from a stream to introduce beneficial bacteria or just add Seachem Prime and Stability. Just stick the plants in the sand and they grow like crazy.
  • If you don't have it, grab a bottle of Seachem stability. It's a probiotic cocktail to help you tank stay in tip top shape after water changes, cleanings, etc.
  • My recommended chemicals for balancing are the seachem prime and seachem stability.
  • Water Additives: Seachem Stability, API Quick Start, API Aqua Essential, Aqueon Shrimp Tank Plus, Aqueon Shrimp Essentials, Seachem Pristine
  • I still treated with seachem stability and did the steps of a fish-in-cycle for the first two weeks, but after that its been smooth sailing.

I would also never use Stabilty again even though I did in the past. You don't need a bottled bacteria but if you get one, there are products that were found to work- fritz makes some and also tetra quick start plus showed to be useful with testing. Stability did not, and actually contains heterotrophic bacteria which are not the same as the nitrifying bacteria our tanks need.

I like seachem prime and stability for a fish-in cycle - you need both, or the same type of products from another company.
