Cichlid Trace
Q: What is the difference between Cichild Lake Salt & Cichild
Trace? Both conatin trace minerals.
A: 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). I recommend to use 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.
