African Cichlid GH Water Conditioner

African Cichlid GH Water Conditioner

Create optimal water conditions for African cichlids with African Cichlid Hardness Salt, a specialised mineral blend designed to maintain high general hardness (GH) levels critical for the wellbeing of Lake Malawi, Tanganyika, and Victoria species. These cichlids thrive in mineral-rich, alkaline waters and require stable GH for osmoregulation, strong growth, and vibrant colour.

This carefully balanced salt mix delivers essential calcium, magnesium, and trace elements, helping replicate the natural chemistry of African Rift lakes. Regular use ensures carbonate stability, supports biofiltration, and reduces the risk of shell or gill issues.

African Cichlid Hardness Salt is suitable for routine water changes, young fish setups, and long-term maintenance in both aquariums and cichlid-specific tanks. It does not alter pH or carbonate hardness (KH) directly, allowing you to manage Alkalinity and GH independently.

Application is simple: add the powder directly to tank water during maintenance—no mixing or rinsing needed. Temporary cloudiness may occur and usually clears within 1–2 days.

• Raises GH to maintain optimal hardness levels

• Helps support osmoregulation and bone + scale development

• Enhances fish coloration and vitality

• Supports biofiltration and reduces stress

• Safe for use with a wide range of African cichlid species

• Suitable for systems using RO or soft tap water

• Temporary cloudiness is safe and expected

Always test GH levels before and after conditioning, adjusting dosage as required based on your target lake profile. Consistent water parameters help prevent stress, improve feeding response, and support healthier, more active fish.
