Product Information




Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt 1.4 kg (3 lbs)

Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt is a chemically sound blend of salts designed to replicate the natural environment of cichlids. It contains all physiologically essential elements such as magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, and includes trace components such as iron, aluminum, and iodide. It does not contain harmful or unnecessary ingredients such as nitrates, phosphates, arsenic, lithium, or cadmium. Use Seachem Cichlid Trace to restore and maintain important trace elements between water changes.

DIRECTIONS: All doses given for 40 L (10 gallons).
TANGANYIKA: Use 11 g (1.5 teaspoons).
MALAWI: Use 5.5 g (3/4 teaspoons).
VICTORIA: Use 3.6 g (1/2 teaspoon).

pH BUFFERING: Seachem Tanganyika Buffer (pH 9.0 to 9.4) and Malawi / Victoria Buffer (pH 7.8 to 8.4) should be used to adjust carbonate hardness and pH.

TIPS: Use when setting up an aquarium and when making water changes. To add salt to an established tank, base dose on water being changed. Do not use salt when simply replacing evaporated water. It is best to dissolve the salt in freshwater before use.

South and Central American Cichlids will also benefit from the use of this salt. Use in combination with either Seachem Tanganyika buffer or Malawi / Victoria buffer. 250g treats 600 to 2,000L (160 to 500gallons) depending on the target lake.
