Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt 500g — Balanced Rift Lake Mineral Blend Supplement With Macrominerals & Micronutrients For African Rift Lake Cichlid Species

Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt 500g (SKU: 725000-273) is a specialised mineral salt supplement engineered for African cichlid enthusiasts. African Rift Lake species originate from hard, mineral-rich waters. This salt blend supplies essential macrominerals and micronutrients—including magnesium, calcium, potassium, sodium, iron, and iodine—matching the natural chemistry of Lakes Malawi, Tanganyika, and Victoria.

Using standard table salt or marine salt mixes can cause ionic imbalances that stress freshwater cichlids. Cichlid Lake Salt provides an authentic mineral ratio that supports osmotic balance, vibrant natural colouration, and scale integrity. Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt 500g is a standard-size pack that has 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, and potassium, and includes trace components such as iron, aluminium, and iodide.
