Ideal for aquarium setup and maintenance, it outperforms generic salts by delivering a complete aquatic environment tailored for freshwater African cichlids. ## Description Cichlid Lake Salt™ is a chemically sound blend of salts designed to replicate the natural environment of Rift Lake African Cichlids. It contains all physiologically essential elements such as magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, and includes trace components such as iron, aluminum, and iodide.Although the major Rift Lakes contain basically the same mineral salts, they do so in greatly differing concentrations. Cichlid Lake Salt™ is formulated so that dosages vary depending on the lake of origin and need only be added when setting up an aquarium or with water changes. Many competing products are little more than combinations of Epsom salt and bicarbonate of soda. This will not provide a complete replication of the mineral salts that are contained in the lakes of Africa, in particular calcium and potassium. Seachem’s Tanganyika Buffer™ (pH 9.0–9.4) and Malawi/Victoria Buffer™ (pH 7.8–8.4) should be used to adjust carbonate hardness and pH. Review: 5 star's seller. - Good quality. Review: Great stuff - Highly Recommend - This stuff is amazing!!! My fish are vibrant, healthy, and thriving ever since I added it to my aquarium. keep in mind that if you use this product there's no reason to add Trace in addition to it. There are more than enough Trace elements in this mixture to keep your fish happy. ## Features - Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt- Natural Environment of African Cichlids Treatment for Freshwater Aquariums - Cichlid Lake Salt is a chemically sound blend of salts designed to replicate the natural environment of Rift Lake African Cichlids - The blend of salts contains all physiologically essential elements such as magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, and includes traces components such as iron, aluminum, and iodide ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000255PJY | | Allergen Information | Buckwheat Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #64,225 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #550 in Aquarium Water Treatments | | Brand | Seachem | | Brand Name | Seachem | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 566 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00000116027700 | | Included Components | all | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Type Name | Aquarium Conditioners | | Item Weight | 1.1 kg | | Liquid Volume | 2.2 liters | | Manufacturer | Seachem Laboratories, Inc. | | Manufacturer Part Number | 277 | | Model Number | 277 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Pet Type | Fish | | Target Species | Fish | | UPC | 000116027700 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | As Labeled | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Seachem - **Item Form:** Powder - **Item Weight:** 1.1 kg - **Liquid Volume:** 2.2 liters - **Number of Packs:** 1 ## Images ![Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt 1 kg / 2.2 lbs - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/513+8KHL7rL.jpg) ![Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt 1 kg / 2.2 lbs - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71J3iExcvZL.jpg) ![Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt 1 kg / 2.2 lbs - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71B93rDgbOL.jpg) ![Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt 1 kg / 2.2 lbs - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91zNK-mgTYL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Question abou the size of the bottle, is the 1kg just a big bottle or 4 of the 250g bottles?** A: 1 kg more convenient in long run **Q: I have used proper ph 8.2 in my tank, if i change to cichlid lake salts will i no longer have to use proper ph?** A: I always use baking soda with the Cichlid liane salt. The lake salt does not change my PH. I’ve been using this salt for about nine years. **Q: Is there a shelf life or expiration date on a product such as this?** A: I don't believe there is an expiration date. If there is it's probably years. If it hardens then I believe you might have lost some of the nutrients from moisture but still usable. **Q: Can someone please explain the seachem cichlid products to me? do i need the salts and the trace elements?? i already got the buffer .** A: I have had African cichlid for years and I use the cichlid lake salts and malawy buffer I never have used trace elements and my fish have thrived and shown great color and have young ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 star's seller. *by M***N on October 16, 2025* Good quality. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great stuff - Highly Recommend *by D***T on March 2, 2019* This stuff is amazing!!! My fish are vibrant, healthy, and thriving ever since I added it to my aquarium. keep in mind that if you use this product there's no reason to add Trace in addition to it. There are more than enough Trace elements in this mixture to keep your fish happy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you have water softener water *by R***W on September 26, 2020* The PH on soft water is okay for cichlids, but I was concerned about general hardness. This fixed the issue overnight. AND honestly the fish have colored up a lot. I have mostly young to juveniles so time will tell. I LOVE Sea Chem products-they are the cadillac of aqurium supplies. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cichlid Lake Salt, 1 kg / 2.2 lbs - Seachem Cichlid Trace Elements 500ml - Malawi/Victoria Buffer, 1.2 kg / 2.6 lbs --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/5670668-seachem-cichlid-lake-salt-1-kg-2-2-lbs](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/5670668-seachem-cichlid-lake-salt-1-kg-2-2-lbs) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-09-13*
