Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt 250g-500g

Description

Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt

Provide your African cichlids with water that closely resembles their natural Rift Lake habitat using Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt — a specialised blend of mineral salts designed to recreate the natural mineral content found in lakes like Malawi, Tanganyika, and Victoria. It boosts general hardness (GH) with essential elements while keeping your tank chemistry balanced for healthier, more vibrant fish.

Key Features

  • Blend of essential salts (magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium)

  • Includes trace components like iron, aluminium, iodide

  • Designed specifically for replicating Rift Lake cichlid environments

  • Affects general hardness (GH) without altering pH or alkalinity

Benefits

✅ Helps mimic natural water chemistry for African cichlids
✅ Supports fish health, colouration, and activity
✅ Increases beneficial minerals without unwanted chemicals
✅ Safe and balanced mix for freshwater cichlid tanks
✅ Works during setup and water changes for lasting support

Reasons to Consider Using It

  • Ideal when setting up or maintaining Lake Malawi, Tanganyika, or Victoria tanks

  • Helps provide stable, consistent water conditions

  • Supports environments where high GH is needed

  • Complements cichlid buffers like Tanganyika or Malawi/Victoria Buffer

Instructions for Use

  1. Dissolve the appropriate amount of salt in fresh water before adding to your aquarium.

  2. For Lake Tanganyika, add approximate dose (e.g., ~11 g per 40 L of RO/DI water).

  3. For Lake Malawi, use a moderate dose (e.g., ~5.5 g per 40 L).

  4. For Lake Victoria, use a lighter dose (e.g., ~3.6 g per 40 L).

  5. Always adjust dosing based on your starting water hardness and test with a GH kit.

  6. Combine with Seachem buffers if you need to adjust pH or carbonate hardness (KH).
