What is nutrifying bacteria? Is it the same as seachem stability? Or nutro nutrifying bacteria? Or microlift bacteria? Is there any difference at all?
what's the difference if any?

I've never tried seachem stability. The jury is out on these still - sometimes they work, sometimes they don't but they never seem to cause any harm and worth a shot.

Thanks Delapool, I thought this thread was a gonner!!!
Hopefully someone chimes in that has used it 
certainly I find seachem very good but never shy in promoting

I've only used stability in one instance, during a mini cycle, it seemed to help, than again there is really no way to know.. I would say it wouldn't hurt if used as a cycle aid towards the end to feed what bb you have already built up?? Make sense??

Yes it doesn't but I wouldn't use seachem stability ever again. I had horrible results with it
Good point - what happened again?

Well I used the seachem with a fish in cycle as advised on the bottle and doses daily just like it said and at the end of the week my tank was cycled but like normal I did a huge wc just like advised and then it turns out my tank surely wasn't cycled. I retested and I had ammo and trites but no Trates and it stayed like that for a few more weeks.

So it kind of did what prime does?

Yes more or less. Prime doesn't give false readings like the stability did to me. Again I'm sure its case by case but yeah false readings suck
