- What does Cichlid Trace do?
- It restores trace elements that cichlids absorb from the water and that get depleted by use, oxidation and precipitation. It is a maintenance supplement, not a medication or a water conditioner.
- Do I still need a cichlid buffer or salt?
- Yes. Cichlid Trace covers minor elements only. It is meant to be used alongside a product that sets the main mineral content, such as a cichlid buffer or salt mix.
- How often should I dose it?
- Follow the label dosing schedule, which is built around regular replenishment. Dosing frequency depends on your water changes and stocking, so adjust with testing rather than guessing.
- Is it safe for all cichlids?
- It is formulated for cichlid aquariums generally, including African and South American species. It is not a treatment for disease or poor water quality.
- Does it replace water changes?
- No. It replenishes trace elements between water changes but does not remove waste or reset mineral balance the way a water change does.
