Question abou the size of the bottle, is the 1kg just a big bottle or 4 of the 250g bottles?

1 kg more convenient in long run

I have used proper ph 8.2 in my tank, if i change to cichlid lake salts will i no longer have to use proper ph?

I always use baking soda with the Cichlid liane salt. The lake salt does not change my PH. I’ve been using this salt for about nine years.

Is there a shelf life or expiration date on a product such as this?

I don't believe there is an expiration date. If there is it's probably years. If it hardens then I believe you might have lost some of the nutrients from moisture but still usable.

Can someone please explain the seachem cichlid products to me? do i need the salts and the trace elements?? i already got the buffer .

I have had African cichlid for years and I use the cichlid lake salts and malawy buffer I never have used trace elements and my fish have thrived and shown great color and have young

Essential for African Cichlids

Essential if you have African Cichlids. I produce my own RO water as my tap water is high in Nitrates. So I use this to put minerals back into the water along with using Cichlid Trace and Tanganyika Buffer. All this results in my Mbuna looking their best.
