Tropic Marin Bio-Strontium
Biologically Ideal Strontium Supplement for Reef Aquariums. A sufficient supply of strontium and carbon dioxide is as essential for the growth and well-being of reef-building corals as calcium. Both elements are supplied to the corals with the help of the zooxanthellae (algae) that live symbiotically within them. Bio-Strontium creates a natural environment in the aquarium and delivers strontium and carbon dioxide in a natural, biologically-available ionically balanced form.
Key Benefits:
- Contains strontium carbonate for corals and carbon dioxide for zooxanthellae.
- Measured amount of strontium in a truly ionically balanced formula.
- Contains all 70 trace elements found in natural sea water.
- Only natural substances are formed when dissolved: no chelates, no phosphates, no nitrates.
Dosage:
1 level measuring spoon increases the strontium level of 10 US Gal. / 8 Imp.Gal. / 37 l by about 2 ppm (2 mg/l). The natural concentration of seawater is 8 ppm (8 mg/l). In a reef aquarium the concentration of strontium decreases quickly through biological processes, precipitation and by the use in calcareous animals.
