Description
xSeachem Cichlid Lake Salt is a carefully balanced blend of salts designed to replicate the natural environment of cichlids in home aquariums. It supplies the major ions that support general physiology and stable water chemistry, helping you create a comfortable setting for a diverse cichlid community.
Key composition findings are guaranteed by weight and include essential ions along with trace components. Magnesium and potassium form a strong base for mineral balance, while sodium and calcium contribute to the overall ionic strength. Trace elements such as iron and iodide are present in smaller amounts, with a trace aluminum component noted in the blend. This combination is designed to support a healthy mineral baseline without introducing unwanted compounds.
