FAQ: What is the difference between Seachem Cichlid Trace™ & Cichlid Lake Salt™?

Cichlid Lake Salt™ is a blend of major, minor, and trace minerals to replicate African Rift Lake conditions. Cichlid Trace™ is a blend of trace minerals proven to be utilized by aquatic vertebrate life (ex. fish). We recommend using Cichlid Lake Salt™ with every partial water exchange (not when adding water to compensate for evaporation. Only water evaporates, not the minerals). I recommend to use Cichlid Trace™ twice a week to keep a fresh influx of trace minerals available to your fish. Some of these trace minerals are depleted rapidly and need to be replenished on a regular basis.
