Is it necessary to Add trophical salt to a tank water which is already conditioned by Cichlid salt?

Question

I have a Malawi cichlids tank. I read Cichlids like alkaine water. So I bought cichlid salt from aquarium shop and added to the tank to raise the PH. Do I need to add normal trophical salt as well? or is it fine with the cichlid's salt?

Answer 1

As long as you're adding the cichlid salt in the recommended amount, that should be all the salt they would need.

Just be sure to keep the amount of salt constant. Salt doesn't evaporate with water, so if the tank level drops from evaporation, replace it with pure water (no salt added). But when you do water changes, if you remove 10 gallons, add the salt for 10 gallons to the replacement water.
