I used this salt when setting up my cichlid tank and noticed the water stability improved. The fish seemed more active and less stressed. It’s easy to measure and mix in with regular water changes.
William Hunter –
The salt helped maintain proper hardness levels. I added it during my first water change and have been using it regularly since. My cichlids have adapted well to the conditions.
