Cichlid Lake Salt™ 500g
Replicates the environment of African Cichlids
Contains proper amounts of calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium
Affects hardness only, not alkalinity or pH
Overview
Cichlid Lake Salt™ is 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, potassium, and includes trace components such as iron, aluminum, and iodide.
Although the major Rift Lakes contain basically the same mineral salts, they do so in greatly differing concentrations. Cichlid Lake Salt™ is formulated so that dosages vary according to the specific lake environment.

Used this salt for my African cichlids and noticed a significant improvement in their color and activity. The water parameters stabilized quickly and the fish seemed more vibrant. Easy to measure and mix into the tank water.
Abigail Piper –
Good match for my Pseudotropheus species. The salt helped maintain stable hardness levels without altering pH. I’ve used it for over three months and haven’t had any issues with fish health.

The salt is well-formulated and matches the natural conditions of the Rift lakes. My tank has been stable since I started using it. No changes in pH or alkalinity, just the right hardness for cichlids.
