Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt (250g/1kg)

Seachem Cichlid Salt conditions the aquarium water and replicates the natural environment necessary for Rift Lake African cichlids to grow and thrive. It contains a safe blend of salts comprising key elements such as magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, and includes trace components such as iron, aluminum, and iodide.

Although the major Rift Lakes contain basically the same mineral salts, they do so in greatly differing concentrations. Cichlid Lake Salt is formulated so that dosages vary depending on the lake of origin and need only be added when setting up an aquarium or with water changes.

Many competing products are little more than combinations of Epsom salt and bicarbonate of soda. This will not provide a complete replication of the mineral salts that are contained in the lakes of Africa, in particular calcium and potassium. Seachem's Tanganyika Buffer (pH 9.0-9.4) and Malawi/Victoria Buffer (pH 7.8-8.4) should be used to adjust carbonate hardness and pH.

Features:

• Replicates the environment of African Cichlids
• Contains proper amounts of calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium
• Affects hardness only, not alkalinity or pH
