Seachem Reef Strontium 500ml
Strontium occurs in natural seawater at a concentration of about 8 to 10 mg/L.
It is chemically very similar to calcium, and many organisms incorporate it in
their skeletons along with calcium. Its addition to reef aquariums aids the
growth of corals, coralline algae and other organisms that lay down a
calcereous skeleton or shell, including tridacnid clams. Reef Strontium™ is
intended to restore and maintain strontium to levels found in natural seawater
without affecting pH. Strontium is utilized in the same manner as calcium and
holds a similar importance in maintaining a vigorous level of growth. Reef
Strontium™ contains 10,000 mg/L of available strontium as a gluconate complex.
Gluconate complexation confers several benefits: it increases the
bioavailability of the strontium, it provides a rich source of metabolic
energy to help maintain peak coral growth, and it inhibits strontium
precipitation/alkalinity depletion. Gluconate contains no nitrogen or
phosphorous, thus it is biologically impossible for it to lead to algae growth
in a properly maintained reef system.
