Cichlid Lake Salt, 250 g

Used this in a 120L African cichlid tank—helps replicate natural lake conditions with essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Fish showed better colour and activity after consistent use. No clouding, no harsh reactions, and no impact on filtration. I’ve dosed it during water changes and new setups—easy to measure, dissolves clean, and doesn’t leave residue. Works well with Seachem buffers if you’re dialling in pH and hardness. Ideal for Lake Malawi, Tanganyika, and Victoria species. 🔍 Specs & Features Size: 250g tub Type: Mineral supplement—not a marine salt Use: African cichlid tanks (freshwater only) Function: Adds essential electrolytes and buffers hardness Compatibility: Safe for all African cichlids—use with buffers for full effect Application: Dose during water changes or setup—follow chart on label 🧪 Performance Water Chemistry: Raises GH (general hardness) without affecting pH directly Fish Health: Supports osmoregulation and colour Dissolve Rate: Fast—no clumps or residue Smell: Neutral—no chemical stink 👍 Pros ✅ Adds key minerals—supports cichlid health ✅ Easy to dose—clear instructions ✅ No clouding or residue ✅ Works with buffers for full lake mimic ✅ Long shelf life—small tub goes far 👎 Cons ❌ Not for non-cichlid tanks—can alter balance ❌ Doesn’t adjust pH—needs buffer pairing ❌ Manual dosing—no scoop included ❌ Can be overdone—stick to chart 🧭 Personal Verdict If you’re running African cichlids and want clean, stable water with proper mineral support, Seachem Lake Salt earns its spot. I’ve used it across setups and water changes—no drama, just solid results and happy fish. Proper stash-ready gear for anyone who wants their tank chemistry dialled in.

Fantastic product quick delivery exactly what it says on the tin 10/10

Made all the difference

Tried to give a genuine honest positive review, but Amazon rejected it and said I had to edit it. Apparently I’m not allowed to compliment how well an item is packaged. Great product from a great seller. Let’s see if this makes it through

Used it before. Not sure how to rate this product but all i can say fish are alive and breading. Fast shipment.

Good stuff

Very happy fish definitely seem more comfortable more colourful and happy when using this so it must work

I've been using sacheam products for years and there fantastic. Actually been using buffer but gave this a try. Was cautious and under dosed for the tank size.. 3 fish dead the following day and rest of the fish are in trouble. Water changes filter changes sponge changes an absolute disaster. And yea been fish keeping for over 30 years so know what I'm doing.update tank has around 30 snails in it now as well only new thing went into it was this salt. Can't work it out

Good product, make sure you read and use the correct dosage. I do not like to put it all in at once. Slowly reach the goal as you do water changes if you start out with tap water and move to RO water.

My cichlids are happy, I assume:)

Very costly! I get it in 975 on indie fur site

Good
