Strontium Supplements

Strontium is a minor element, which just like Calcium and next only to it, is required for the growth and maintenance of the skeleton of several aquatic invertebrates, especially Corals. Though requiring heavy caution in its administration, the right levels of Strontium in aquarium water is key to healthy tank inmates. To equip your aquarium’s water with this element, Strontium Supplements are something you need to resort to. Fresh Marine offers several effective Strontium Supplements to boost the health and well-being of your aquarium members. The ensuing discussion deals with some of the best Strontium Supplements.

This Strontium Supplement furnishes bio-available Strontium in aquarium water, immensely benefiting the growth of Purple, Pink, & Green Calcareous Algae, Snails, Hard Tube Worms, and Clams. The Deionized Water based formula also contains Magnesium to fill up the gap of the element.

To use, add one teaspoonful, capful, or 5 ml of the Strontium Supplement per 50 gallons or 190 liters of water in the aquarium. An overdose of the formula is also safe and may even benefit when your aquarium is overstocked. However, curtail the doses if any adverse reaction happens. Overuse of Strontium Supplement may cause Strontium Compound Precipitation and Deposits, which are capable of harming pumps and other sensitive system equipment. Excess of the formula may also dip your aquarium’s alkalinity and pH. It is therefore important that your aquarium’s Alkalinity/KH levels are stable at 10 dKH. You may buffer your system with Kent Marine Superbuffer-dKH or Kent Marine Marine Aquarium pH Buffer. Ensure your aquarium’s right Calcium levels with Kent Kalkwasser Mix, Concentrated Liquid Calcium, or TURBO CALCIUM. Kent Coral-Vite supplies important Trace Minerals and Vitamins to Corals.

Kent Marine Turbo Strontium. This Strontium Supplement is similar in functions and basic composition to that of Kent Marine Strontium & Molybdenum except that it contains Anhydrous Strontium Chloride instead of Molybdenum.
