I have not used the above product . and i am far from an expert
however IMO.
the best thing for the cycle of a new tank or just about anything in salt water is TIME!,
99% of the people that give up on Salt water anything was due to rushing things and magic potions. it really is not a hard hobby just takes time and LOTS of reading
give it time.
I let my first reef sit for almost 2 month
did i mention TIME??
good luck to you

It's a 6 gallon eclipse. I have 10 lbs of live sand, 5 lbs of live rock and one damsel. It has only been a week. The LFS recommended Stability. Time is our real friend and that is not really the question. I tend to think that a natural slow building of the system is best. Its the way nature intended it.
I like to research a recommendation and this sounds like a bad idea. But I thought I would see what you all say since I am really new to this.
Anyone use it? Good experience/bad/no effect?

Yea after watching them do it last night I don't have alot of faith in them. I thought that they would do more. I have already planned to go to ***** today and get a set. Besides who wants to take water to the LFS every week.
I think that I will take back the Stability to the store and get another live rock.
