This helped me out tremendously. I have a 125g tank that I just set up and it looked fantastic on the first day. I added the first dose of Seachem Stability and woke up with the cloudy water the next morning. Now on the 3rd day, it still looks bad but at least I can see the back of the tank now. I've got some Tetra test strips and plan on getting an API Master Freshwater kit but I'm planning on letting it run its course and wait to put fish in.
