Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt 500g

Product details

Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt 500g (273) is a chemically blended salt mix made to help replicate the mineral environment associated with Rift Lake African cichlids. It provides key dissolved elements commonly associated with these lakes—especially calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium—so you can support appropriate water hardness conditions during aquarium setup and regular water changes. This product is intended as a minerals supplement; for pH and carbonate hardness adjustments, Seachem’s Rift Lake buffering products are used alongside it.

Features:

• Formulated to replicate mineral content for Rift Lake African cichlids using a blend of essential ions
• Contains calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium along with selected trace components such as iron, aluminum, and iodide
• Designed to affect hardness only and not alkalinity or pH
• Dosage needs vary based on which Rift Lake (and related concentration differences) you’re targeting
• Can be used when setting up an aquarium or added with water changes to maintain mineral balance
• Not intended to be a simple Epsom salt plus bicarbonate substitute—aims to provide a more complete salt mix
