Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt 250g

Product details

Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt 250g (276) is a salt blend made to help replicate the mineral environment of Rift Lake African cichlids. It’s used when setting up an aquarium and/or during water changes to replenish key dissolved minerals and support stable conditions aligned with lake mineral profiles. As stated by the manufacturer, it’s designed to adjust hardness without directly adjusting alkalinity or pH, so pH/carbonate hardness control can require the appropriate Seachem buffering products when needed.

Features:

• Replicates the natural mineral environment associated with Rift Lake African cichlids
• Contains major physiologically essential elements including calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium
• Includes trace components such as iron, aluminum, and iodide
• Formulated to account for differing mineral concentrations among Rift Lake origins
• Designed to affect hardness rather than alkalinity or pH
• Recommended for aquarium setup and/or dosing during water changes
