I’ve been using this salt for my African cichlid tank and noticed a significant improvement in water stability. The fish seem more active and the tank feels more balanced. It’s easy to measure and mix into the water. No changes in pH or alkalinity, which is exactly what I wanted.
Una Manning –
Works well for maintaining proper hardness in my South American cichlid setup. The salt dissolves quickly and doesn’t leave any residue. I appreciate that it doesn’t alter pH, which helps with my existing water chemistry.

After switching from regular salt mix, my cichlids have shown better coloration and less stress. The instructions are clear and the 250g size is perfect for a medium-sized tank.
