- Restores and maintains strontium to levels found in natural seawater.
- Strontium gluconate.
- Concentrated (10,000 mg/L).
Overview: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.
