has anyone used Stability to help cycle their tank?

I would like to use some Bio Spira, but am having some difficulty finding access to it. Is it worth buying it online if its not shipped overnight? I will call a couple more places to see if I can find it. I just don't want to pay 40 bucks for overnight shipping, I have read that is what it costs. So, has anyone used Stability with success?

I've used both Bio-spira and Stability with success. Stability takes about a week to start working while biospira does it almost instantaneously.

Stability did zip for me.

Bio Spira worked like a charm.

thanks.....just trying to get the nitrogen cycle moving a bit quicker....ammonia almost.5 this morning, and nitrite just a hair above zero. It's a little over 2 weeks into the cycle........I'll keep up with the 30% water changes and conditioning with Prime. Will keep trying to find the BioSpira.

I agree with the others--recently used Bio Spira with some seeded material and had a complete cycle within 4 days. It's worth calling around to see if you can find it (refrigerated only)--wow, overnight shipping is expensive!! Good luck!
