Cichlid Fit 450 g
Biotope-appropriate aquarium water for animals from Lake Malawi and Lake Tanganyika through Cichliden Fit. The special hardening salt for East African cichlids increases the carbonate hardness above the total hardness. The necessary mineral compounds of potassium, calcium and magnesium are present to the extent that they are suitable for the animals from both bodies of water.
You can see the values of the lakes in the table.

The values in the table are calculated numbers and therefore only guide values. In practice, many chemical and biological processes take place in the aquarium that can use up some of the added salts. It therefore makes sense to check the carbonate hardness again after 2 days and, if necessary, re-dose.
- Carbonate hardness is raised above total hardness
- optimal GH / KH ratio of 1: 1.5
- promotes the well-being, resilience and splendor of color of East African cichlids
- contains necessary mineral compounds of potassium, calcium and magnesium
- 450 g hardens 2,000 l by 4° dKH and 2.6° dGH
- 2 measuring spoons harden 100 l by 4.5° dKH and 3° dGH
Contains: calcium chloride
Hazard statement: H 319: Causes serious eye irritation.
Precautionary Statement: P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapour/aerosol. P305 + P351 + P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. If possible, remove any contact lenses. Continue rinsing.
