Review: Boosts minerals, buffers water—keeps African cichlids thriving with clean, stable conditions. - Used this in a 120L African cichlid tank—helps 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. I’ve dosed it during water changes and new setups—easy to measure, dissolves clean, and doesn’t leave residue. Works well with Seachem buffers if you’re dialling in pH and hardness.
