AquaForest Strontium 50ml
AquaForest Strontium is a highly concentrated supplement containing strontium and barium, two naturally occurring elements found in seawater that play an important role in maintaining a healthy reef aquarium.
Strontium is one of the key elements required by hard corals, following calcium and magnesium in importance. It supports the formation of hard coral skeletal tissue and helps improve calcium absorption, while also supporting the growth of soft corals. In closed aquarium systems, strontium can be removed through skimming and filtration media, making regular supplementation important for maintaining appropriate levels.
AquaForest Strontium is enriched with barium to help replicate the natural proportions of these elements found in seawater. Regular use helps replenish strontium and barium deficiencies and maintain a balanced reef aquarium environment.
Key Features
- Highly concentrated strontium and barium supplement
- Supports hard coral skeletal development
- Helps improve calcium absorption
- Supports the growth of soft corals
- Replenishes elements removed by protein skimming and filtration
- Enriched with barium to reflect its natural presence in seawater
- Helps maintain an appropriate strontium-to-barium balance
- Suitable for reef aquariums containing hard and soft corals
Benefits
- Supports healthy hard coral growth and skeletal formation
- Helps corals make effective use of available calcium
- Replenishes strontium that can be depleted in closed aquarium systems
- Provides barium alongside strontium for a more complete supplementation approach
- Helps maintain reef water conditions closer to those found in natural seawater
How to Use
Recommended dosage:
Add 1 drop per 100 L (27 US gal) of aquarium water daily.
Approximately 15 drops (1 ml) added to 100 L (27 US gal) of water will raise the strontium level by approximately 1.09 ppm.
The appropriate dosage may vary depending on the individual aquarium, coral population, and specific requirements of the system. Regularly monitor your aquarium's strontium level and adjust supplementation according to your aquarium's needs.
Recommended Strontium Level
For a reef aquarium, the recommended strontium level should be maintained between:
5–15 ppm
Avoid making large or rapid adjustments to element levels. Test your aquarium water regularly to determine the appropriate supplementation rate for your system.
