FAQ
What is the purpose of the probiotics in this salt?
The probiotics in the salt help increase and diversify beneficial bacteria in the tank, which supports water stability and naturally reduces nitrates and phosphates.
Can this salt be used for all types of cichlids?
This salt is specifically formulated for African Rift Lake cichlids and should be used according to the water type (Tanganyika, Malawi, or Victoria) to match their natural habitat requirements.
How often should I add this salt to my tank?
Add the salt according to the recommended GH range for your specific cichlid species and water type. It is typically added once during tank setup or when water parameters drift outside the ideal range.

My Tanganyika cichlids have shown much better color and activity since I started using this salt. The water stability has improved and I notice less algae growth. The probiotics seem to help maintain a healthy bacterial balance.

Works well for my Malawi cichlids. The GH level stayed stable and my fish are more active. I didn’t have to adjust water parameters as often. Slight adjustment needed at first, but it settled in after a week.

Victoria cichlids are thriving with this salt. The water chemistry matches their natural environment and the fish are growing steadily. I’ve seen more breeding activity than before.
