Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt is specially developed to replicate the unique mineral composition found in the African Rift Lakes. These lakes are known for their high mineral content and stable alkaline conditions, which are essential for the health, breeding success, and coloration of African cichlids.
Unlike ordinary aquarium salt, this product contains carefully balanced carbonate salts and trace minerals that support proper osmotic balance, strong immune response, and stress reduction. It is particularly beneficial for aquarists using RO, DI, or soft tap water, where essential minerals are often absent.
