## Overview

Seachem’s Cichlid Lake Salt is a scientifically formulated 4 kg blend designed to replicate the mineral-rich environment of African Rift Lakes. It delivers essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium to support the health and coloration of African Cichlids, while adjusting water hardness without altering pH or alkalinity. Ideal for aquarium setups and water changes, it pairs perfectly with Seachem’s buffer products to create a stable, natural habitat that promotes fish vitality and resilience.

## Description

Cichlid Lake Salt™ is a chemically sound blend of salts designed to replicate the natural environment of Rift Lake African Cichlids. It contains all physiologically essential 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.

Review: Great Product - Highly recommended! You can’t go wrong with this product!
Review: Must have if you keep African Cichlids. - Cichlid lake salt is a must! I use some RO water and use seachem's Cichlid Lake Salt to replace the good minerals that the RO filters take out. I think this also helps the fish stay healthy and heal faster after they fight. Just make sure you receive what you ordered before you dump it into your tank. I ordered cichlid lake salt and received Reef Buffer, if i used the reef buffer like i used the salt, the PH would be super high. One sticker says cichlid lake salt, the other two say reef buffer. desertcart took care of me and my new bucket of salt should be here today.
