Have you guys found good results with it? The biggest deterrent for me is that when i rescape it will cloudy up the water and I tend to rescape all the time. I think thats going to be my problem with any substrate though.

Awesome! It looks like I'll be using Seachem Flourite clay to grow the plants. I'm hoping for it to be a heavily planted tank yet I haven't the slightest knowledge about plants. All this research is keeping me busy busy busy!

Was hoping someone else could weigh in with their experiences.

Good to know. Would it hurt to use them both? I need to wait 24 hours after using Prime to use the Safe Start, correct?

Thanks! I've been using Seachem stability for almost 5 days now. When I first set up I used Safe Start but after a few days I had to do a 150% water change because my SO thought he might try to feed the fish. Haha there were pellets everywhere.
