## Description

Product Description Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt 1Kg Directions 1. Replicate the environment of African Cichlids by adding Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt to the water. 2. For Tanganyika, use 11 g (1.5 teaspoons) per 40 L of water. 3. For Victoria, use 3.6 g (1/2 teaspoon) per 40 L of water. 4. For Malawi, use 5.5 g (3/4 teaspoons) per 40 L of water. 5. Do not use if water is soft or if chlorine or chloramines are present, unless neutralized. 6. Between water changes, use Seachem's Cichlid Trace to restore and maintain important trace elements. Box Contains water treatment

Review: Essential for African Cichlids - Essential if you have African Cichlids. I produce my own RO water as my tap water is high in Nitrates. So I use this to put minerals back into the water along with using Cichlid Trace and Tanganyika Buffer. All this results in my Mbuna looking their best.
Review: Matches water conditions for my fish - Part of keeping fish in peak stress-free condition, especially for sensitive tropical fish, is to match the environment the species have come from. This is one parameter that is met - by keeping the salt levels up. My fish are thriving so I consider this job done.

## Features

- Causes severe skin burns and eye damage.
- Replicates the environment of African Cichlids
- Contains proper amounts of calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium
- Affects hardness only, not alkalinity or pH

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Question abou the size of the bottle, is the 1kg just a big bottle or 4 of the 250g bottles?**
A: 1 kg more convenient in long run

**Q: I have used proper ph 8.2 in my tank, if i change to cichlid lake salts will i no longer have to use proper ph?**
A: I always use baking soda with the Cichlid liane salt. The lake salt does not change my PH. I’ve been using this salt for about nine years.

**Q: Is there a shelf life or expiration date on a product such as this?**
A: I don't believe there is an expiration date. If there is it's probably years. If it hardens then I believe you might have lost some of the nutrients from moisture but still usable.

**Q: Can someone please explain the seachem cichlid products to me? do i need the salts and the trace elements?? i already got the buffer .**
A: I have had African cichlid for years and I use the cichlid lake salts and malawy buffer I never have used trace elements and my fish have thrived and shown great color and have young
