REEF ADV. STRONTIUM 4 KG

Reef Advantage Strontium 4 kg Seachem – Strontium Supplement for Reef Aquarium

Strontium is naturally present in seawater at a concentration of about 8 to 10 mg/L. Chemically similar to calcium, it is incorporated by many reef organisms into their calcareous structures.

Reef Advantage Strontium Seachem helps restore and maintain strontium at levels close to those of natural seawater, thereby promoting the growth of corals, coralline algae, and calcifying organisms such as tridacna clams.

Main Features

Importance of Strontium in Reef Aquariums

Strontium is used by corals similarly to calcium and plays an essential role in maintaining vigorous growth. It becomes particularly important in densely populated aquariums, where its consumption is high.

Reef Advantage Strontium is ionically balanced and can be added directly to the aquarium, unlike many competing products that require prior preparation.

Available Sizes

250 g, 500 g, 1 kg, 4 kg.

Usage Instructions

Beginner

Add 6 g (approximately 1 level teaspoon) for 150 L of water, twice a week.

The product can be added directly to the aquarium.

For precise dosing, the use of a spoon scale is recommended.

Advanced

Measure the strontium level and adjust the dosage to achieve a concentration between 8 and 12 mg/L.

Each dose of 6 g for 150 L increases strontium by about 2 mg/L.

The frequency and quantity can be adjusted based on the tank's consumption.

Expert

After determining the strontium depletion rate, a continuous drip system can be set up.

Calculation formula:

m = v × s / 30

m = grams of product to add
v = tank volume in liters
s = desired increase in mg/L

Example: to increase strontium by 6 mg/L in a 200 L aquarium, add 40 g to the top-off water.

Important Considerations

Significant adjustments should be made gradually to avoid overdosing.

Excess strontium can lead to a loss of carbonate alkalinity.

Do not mix directly with a carbonate supplement. It is advisable to space additions by at least 30 minutes or alternate them every other day.
