Seachem Stability failed, can i now add Tetra Safe Start?

[Wspanic]

Ok, i should have done a fishless cycle but i am new to this. Started a 40 gallon tank 12 days ago with Seachem Stabilty and 5 yellow lab cichlids. Followed instructions for 8 days. Ammonia has always been between 0.25 and 0.5. I have seen Nitrites a few times 0.25-0.5, but mostly it is zero. I have seen Nitrates several times but not since last Friday where they were 40, i did a 30% WC and they have been 0 ever since. The tank has also been cloudy for well over a week. I have also been using Prime to detox.

Should i try giving Tetras Safe Start a shot?

That'll probably work

I had the same results with seachem. I would just continue your fish in cycle as is. Do your daily testing and water changes. It's the safest and easiest on your fish

That'll probably work

Again, that's not really helpful

Well I've never used it but similar things work really well

Like API quick start

I've never used that one so it may work. When I cycles my old 55g I used seachem stability and it failed with the same readings. I then decided to continue my fish in cycle with the daily testing and water changes and was glad that I did and saved stress on my fish.

so is there any negative or adverse effect by now adding Safe Start? should i do a WC first? Water if very cloudy.

@ OP. Can you post a pic? I've never added another chemical like that after using one prior
