Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt 4kg

Description

Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt 4kg — Essential Mineral Blend Recreating Distinct Natural Water Chemistry of East African Rift Lakes for African Cichlid Species

Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt 4kg (SKU: 725002-279) is a bulk mineral salt formulation designed to recreate the distinct natural water chemistry of Lakes Malawi, Tanganyika, and Victoria. It supplies essential macro and trace elements—including magnesium, calcium, sodium, and potassium—to replicate the mineral-rich environment African cichlids require for survival and breeding. It supports the health of cichlids by maintaining proper pH levels and enhancing biological functions, making it ideal for creating a balanced and natural habitat for these species.

Unlike generic aquarium salts, Cichlid Lake Salt focuses purely on hardness minerals without altering pH or alkalinity, allowing aquarists to independently control general hardness (GH) and carbonate hardness (KH). The 4 kg bulk bucket offers maximum economy for large display aquariums, breeding setups, and commercial installations.
