Cichlid Lake Salt 250g

Cichlid Lake Salt is a chemically balanced blend of salts designed to mimic the natural environment of African cichlid fish from the Rift Lake. It contains all essential physiological elements such as magnesium, calcium, sodium, and potassium, and includes trace ingredients like iron, aluminum, and iodine.

Key features:

• Mimics the environment of African cichlid fish
• Contains appropriate amounts of calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium
• Affects only hardness, not alkalinity or pH

Directions for use:
All dosages are intended for a volume of 40 liters (10 US gallons).

• Tanganyika: Use 11 grams (1.5 teaspoons)
• Malawi: Use 5.5 grams (¾ teaspoon)
• Victoria: Use 3.6 grams (½ teaspoon)

Dosages are based on DI or RO water; for other water, measure hardness (GH) first, then add as needed. For reference, the Tanganyika dose raises dGH by 8.8 units. The Malawi dose raises dGH by 4.4 units. The Victoria dose raises dGH by 3 units.

We recommend the following hardness ranges:

• Tanganyika: 3-5.5 meq/L (8-14 dGH)
• Malawi: 1.5-3 meq/L (4-8 dGH)
• Victoria: 1-2 meq/L (3-6 dGH)
