Description

Seachem American Cichlid Salt 4Kg — Bulk Mineral Buffer for Central & South American Cichlid, Oscar, Severum, Jack Dempsey, & Cichlasoma In Large Aquariums

Seachem American Cichlid Salt 4Kg (SKU: 725154-1469) is a bulk mineral salt formulation designed to recreate the natural water conditions of Central and South American rivers in large display tanks and commercial facilities. Unlike African Rift Lake salts that create hard, alkaline conditions, American Cichlid Salt supplies precise ratios of calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium tailored for species like Oscars, Severums, Jack Dempseys, and Cichlasoma.

The 4kg tub offers high-capacity value for large display aquariums, maintenance routines, and breeding operations. Regular dosing improves osmoregulation, reduces stress, and enhances natural slime coat protection in valuable specimen fish.
