Another Company's product
There are a lot of aquarium products on the market, and while most of them will work perfectly fine together in the aquarium, some will not. We can't 100% guarantee any product that's not our own, but here's a few quick rules:
- Avoid using products that overlap in function. Either one works and so it's the one you should be using, both work and so it's a waste to use them both, or neither work and you should be looking for a third, better product. In the case of Cichlid Trace™, using multiple trace element supplements when only one is needed could result in a slow buildup of trace elements in the system.
- Research the products you use carefully. Typically, if a product or medication is volatile enough to react with necessary trace elements, the company will mention it on the label or website, or you can call in to check.
- When in doubt, wait a day. While there should not be any interaction between Cichlid Trace™ and another product, leaving 24 hours in between the doses will avoid possible fish stress from rapidly changing water parameters.
Seachem® Products
It's safe to use Cichlid Trace™ alongside any of the other Seachem® products that are recommended for freshwater systems. If you are maintaining plants, it is perfectly fine to use both Cichlid Trace™ and a Plant-specific trace element supplement, but using more than two trace element supplements in the aquarium is typically unnecessary.
Here's some Seachem® products that are Freshwater Trace Element Supplements
| Fresh Trace™ | Discus Trace™ | Flourish Trace™ |
| Gold Trace™ | Flourish® |
As previously mentioned, it is fine to use these products together, but it is typically unnecessary to use multiple trace elements in the same system.
