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.
