Overview
American Cichlid Salt™ is a carefully balanced blend of salts designed to replicate the natural environment of American cichlids. It provides essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium, along with trace elements like iron, aluminum, and iodide. This salt affects general hardness (GH) without altering alkalinity (KH) or pH.
