Why Use Seachem Cichlid Trace?
African cichlid aquariums often require harder, more mineral-rich water than many standard community aquariums. Seachem Cichlid Trace provides a way to supplement trace elements that may not be replaced by water changes alone, depending on the source water and aquarium setup.
This product does not replace regular water testing, water changes, proper filtration, or appropriate cichlid salts and buffers. It is best used as one part of a complete African cichlid care routine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Seachem Cichlid Trace the same as Cichlid Lake Salt?
No. Seachem Cichlid Trace provides trace elements, while cichlid salts provide major minerals. Some African cichlid setups may use both as part of a complete water care routine.
Does Seachem Cichlid Trace raise pH or hardness?
No. It is not intended as a pH or KH buffer. For pH, alkalinity, or hardness adjustments, use the appropriate cichlid buffer or mineral product and test water regularly.
How often should Seachem Cichlid Trace be used?
Use according to the manufacturer’s instructions. It is commonly added during water changes or as part of a regular maintenance routine.
Is Seachem Cichlid Trace safe for planted tanks?
It is designed for African cichlid aquariums, which often have harder, more alkaline water. Some plants may not do well in those conditions, so choose plants based on your cichlid setup.
Can Seachem Cichlid Trace be used in non-cichlid tanks?
It is best suited for African cichlid aquariums and hard-water freshwater setups. For other aquariums, choose supplements based on the needs of the livestock and water parameters.
