Boosts minerals, buffers waterโkeeps African cichlids thriving with clean, stable conditions.
Used this in a 120L African cichlid tankโhelps 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. Iโve dosed it during water changes and new setupsโeasy to measure, dissolves clean, and doesnโt leave residue. Works well with Seachem buffers if youโre dialling in pH and hardness. Ideal for Lake Malawi, Tanganyika, and Victoria species. ๐ Specs & Features Size: 250g tub Type: Mineral supplementโnot a marine salt Use: African cichlid tanks (freshwater only) Function: Adds essential electrolytes and buffers hardness Compatibility: Safe for all African cichlidsโuse with buffers for full effect Application: Dose during water changes or setupโfollow chart on label ๐งช Performance Water Chemistry: Raises GH (general hardness) without affecting pH directly Fish Health: Supports osmoregulation and colour Dissolve Rate: Fastโno clumps or residue Smell: Neutralโno chemical stink ๐ Pros โ Adds key mineralsโsupports cichlid health โ Easy to doseโclear instructions โ No clouding or residue โ Works with buffers for full lake mimic โ Long shelf lifeโsmall tub goes far ๐ Cons โ Not for non-cichlid tanksโcan alter balance โ Doesnโt adjust pHโneeds buffer pairing โ Manual dosingโno scoop included โ Can be overdoneโstick to chart ๐งญ Personal Verdict If youโre running African cichlids and want clean, stable water with proper mineral support, Seachem Lake Salt earns its spot. Iโve used it across setups and water changesโno drama, just solid results and happy fish. Proper stash-ready gear for anyone who wants their tank chemistry dialled in.

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

Problems
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.
