Biologically Ideal Strontium Supplement for Reef
Aquariums
- Replenish essential strontium
- Does not disrupt ionic balance
- Natural substances are formed
- No chelates, phosphates, or nitrates
A sufficient supply of strontium is as essential for the growth
and well-being of reef-building corals as calcium. In the reef
aquarium, the strontium concentration can drop rapidly to low
values due to biological processes, precipitation and
incorporation into the limestone skeleton.
Tropic Marin Bio-Strontium utilizes the natural
environment in the aquarium and delivers strontium and carbon
dioxide in a natural, biologically-available, powdered form and
thus supports the healthy development of coral. Bio-Strontium
does not disturb the ionic balance in contrast to the single
addition of strontium chloride.
What's Included?
7oz Bio-Strontium
Instructions:
One level measuring spoon increases the strontium level of 10
US Gal./37 l by about 2 ppm. The natural concentration of
seawater is 8 ppm. In a reef aquarium, the concentration of
strontium decreases quickly through biological processes,
precipitation and the use in the calcareous animals. A basic
dosage of 1 level measuring spoon per 50 US Gal./190 l every
two weeks is recommended. In an aquarium with a high
population, the dosage can be as much as 1 level measuring
spoon per 50 US Gal./190 l each week.
When using the enclosed dosage spoon, level
the Bio-Strontium with the spatula for a precise
measurement. Sprinkle one level measuring spoon full
of Bio-Strontium directly on the surface of the aquarium
or sump water, while stirring with your hand or a non-metallic
object. Wait for each spoonful to dissolve completely before
adding the next.
High strontium concentrations in the aquarium may damage
corals. Always be sure to monitor the strontium concentration.
