My American cichlids have been much more active and healthy since I started using this salt. The water stability has improved noticeably, and I don’t have to adjust pH or alkalinity as often.

Works well for maintaining the right hardness. My fish seem more vibrant and less stressed. No changes in pH or alkalinity, which is exactly what I wanted.
