Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt for African Cichlids

Why this product matters

Your African cichlids deserve water that mimics their natural Rift Lake environment. This scientifically formulated salt blend provides all the essential minerals your fish need to thrive, not just basic Epsom salt like cheaper alternatives.

Product Description

Cichlid Lake Salt is a chemically balanced mineral blend that recreates the natural water conditions of African Rift Lakes. Unlike basic salt mixes that are just Epsom salt and baking soda, this complete formula contains all physiologically essential elements including magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, plus important trace elements like iron, aluminum, and iodide.

The major Rift Lakes contain the same mineral salts but in different concentrations, so this formula allows you to adjust dosages based on your cichlids' lake of origin. Simply add when setting up your aquarium or during water changes - no complicated daily dosing required.
