ATI Strontium is a trace element supplement designed for marine aquariums. Strontium is incorporated into the skeleton of hard corals and plays a role in the mineralization processes and development of calcareous structures.
Although its physiological significance has not yet been fully clarified, several observations show that strontium is involved in the development biology of corals and calcareous algae.
Strontium plays a key role in the calcification of SPS and LPS corals as well as red calcareous algae. An insufficient concentration can lead to slower growth, more fragile skeletons, and less pronounced growth tips.
In aquariums rich in calcifying organisms, strontium consumption can be significant, making regular monitoring essential.
Strontium is continuously consumed in the reef aquarium. A deficiency mainly occurs through prolonged consumption by corals and calcareous algae, sometimes worsened by a supplementation system that does not compensate for this element.
An ICP analysis makes it possible to precisely identify deviations and adjust supplementation to the actual consumption rate of the tank.
10 ml of supplement increases the strontium concentration in 100 L by 2 mg/L.
For precise management based on ICP analyses, it is recommended to make gradual additions and not exceed an increase of 2 mg/L per day, i.e. 10 ml per 100 L.
This dosing precision allows both targeted corrections and the establishment of a stable daily supplementation routine.
ATI Strontium is formulated from an ultra-pure solution, free from EDTA and other accumulating chelators, ensuring safe and controlled supplementation.
For ongoing maintenance and long-term balance of parameters, the use of ATI Essentials solutions is recommended.
