Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt

Anybody use this stuff? If so, why?
Regency cichlids of New York, a breeder/seller of Trophs and other Tang. fish, used to plug it by crediting their success in breeding to this product. This link is no longer on their website, or isn't working. Just curious...

I add Kent Cichlid Essentials to my water to get some of the minerals back in the water I take out. Once starting to do this I did notice my WC fish really started to add better colors and breeding started more. My non WC fish, it made no real difference to.

+1 for Kent CE!

I got bottles of that stuff.

I use epsom salt and baking soda in my water. The water here runs at 7.4 ph, so I add Kent or Seachem buffer. I prefer Kent, but it's not always easy to get locally. Tank is at 8.2.

I had went onto the Regency cichlids website recently, and didn't see their tribute to Seachem salt. They raise rainbow variety trophs, which have a reputation of being difficult to breed. I was just wondering if anyone here used it and if their experiences with it were positive. I am happy with my water and troph behavior; I don't have any plans to start using it.

I prefer Seachem Tang Buffer and I use Tropic Marin Sea Salt (usually 2:1 or 3:1) depending on how large of a water change that I do.

I use a combination of Baking Soda and the Seachem Tanganyikan Buffer.

I use them in a 2:1 ratio.
