The following GH ranges are recommended:
- Tanganyika: 3–5.5 meq/L (8–14 dGH)
- Malawi: 1.5–3meq/L (4–8 dGH)
- Victoria: 1–2 meq/L (3–6 GH)
Directions & Dosage
Dosages are per 10 U.S. gallons (37.85 liters): Tanganyika: Use 11 g (1.5 tsp); Malawi: Use 5.5 g (3/4 tsp); Victoria: Use 3.6 g (1/2 tsp). Use when adding new water to aquariums following the dosage for the lake you are wanting to simulate.
- For best results, use RODI water. If using dechlorinated tap water, measure GH with a suitable test kit, and adjust dose to accommodate current hardness level
- For best results, add Rift Lake Cichlid Salt to RODI water in a separate container before adding water to aquarium.
- No equipment restrictions necessary
- No contraindications: can be used with all of our other products and meds
- Dry products measured by volume (teaspoons, cups, etc) will always give approximate results - use a gram scale if available. If a gram scale is not available, be sure to test for correct concentration after use and observe for any changes in fish behavior.
- Overdosed? Observe livestock for distress, perform small water changes if needed
- Test with a GH test kit before and after use
NOTE: For reference, the Tanganyika dose raises GH by 9 units, Malawi by 4.5 units and the Victoria dose by 3 units.
