Natural Strontium
Why is strontium required?
Strontium is probably important for accelerating coral and calcareous algae
growth.
NSW (Natural Sea Water) contains approx. 7 - 9 mg/L strontium. This strontium is
associated (”chelated”) with sulfate.
Since the growth of corals and calcareous algae goes hand in hand with strontium
and calcium depletion, depletion of calcium (which is very easily measurable)
usually means depletion of strontium as well.
About Natural Strontium
Strontium supplements should be designed in such a way that a too low or a too
high strontium concentration is avoided.
With this supplement we have reached this aim with an easy-to-use formulation.
Initial strontium concentration can easily be maintained when dosing the same
amount as our Coral Calcium. This reduces the need for a strontium measurement.
This supplement contains predominantly strontium sulfate together with some
other ingredients to avoid an ionic imbalance. This sulfate form is
significantly more effective and less toxic than the commonly used strontium
chloride. Furthermore strontium is present in natural sea water as the sulfate
just like this supplement!
Also, all ingredients are of a pharmaceutical quality or even better. This
ensures that no unwanted elements are added to your valuable aquarium.
Some other requirements
The use of Coral Calcium as a calcium supplement is highly advised. In fact this
Natural Strontium and Coral Calcium are designed to be used together for
excellent results.
Directions:
Shake before use.
Regular maintenance:
Dose the same ml’s as Coral Calcium.
Otherwise:
Dose 5 ml per 100 liters (25 gallons) once a week or 2 weeks and adjust dosage
according to individual requirements (use a strontium test, e.g., Salifert’s
Strontium Profi-Test).
Every 5 ml per 10 liters (2.5 gallons) will increase the strontium concentration
by approx. 2 mg/L (2 ppm).
Maintain a strontium concentration of 5 - 20 mg/L.
Keep out of reach of children. In case of contact with eyes rinse with plenty of
water. Only for aquarium-hobby use. Not for human consumption (directly or
indirectly)!
Active ingredients: strontium sulfate and salts of calcium, magnesium and
