Product Information
Salifert Strontium 1000ml.
Strontium is important for accelerating coral and calcareous algae growth. NSW (Natural Sea Water) contains approximately 7 - 9 mg - L strontium. This strontium is associated (chelated) with sulphate. 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. 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 sulphate 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 seawater 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.
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.
