Tropic Marin Bio-Strontium is a biologically ideal, crystalline powder supplement designed to replenish essential strontium in marine reef aquariums. Strontium is a crucial alkaline earth metal required for the healthy skeletal development of reef-building corals, coralline algae, and other calcifying organisms. In a thriving aquarium, strontium levels quickly deplete due to biological processes and precipitation. Unlike single-compound strontium chloride additions that can disrupt the delicate ionic balance, Bio-Strontium delivers both strontium and carbon dioxide in a balanced, biologically available form.
Key benefits
Supports Skeleton Formation: Critical for the healthy growth and skeletal development of reef corals and coralline algae.
Balanced Mineral Formula: Replenishes strontium without disrupting the aquarium's critical ionic balance.
Provides Carbon Dioxide: Delivers biologically available $CO_2$ to support coral photosynthesis.
Pure Quality: Completely free of chelates, phosphates, and nitrates.
Doses Safely: Formulated to release strontium in a natural, easily absorbable form.
Specifications
Net weight: 7 oz (approx. 200 g)
Form: Crystalline powder
Primary purpose: Ionically balanced strontium supplementation
Intended users: Marine reef keepers, coral aquascapers, and advanced hobbyists
Suggested use
Direct application: Sprinkle the powder directly onto the surface of the aquarium or sump water in a high-flow area.
Stir to dissolve: Stir the water with a hand or non-metallic object to help the powder dissolve completely.
Dose slowly: Wait for each spoonful to dissolve entirely before adding the next to avoid localized concentrations.
Dosage and testing
Standard Dose: One level measuring spoon (included) increases the strontium level of 10 US gallons (37 liters) by approximately 2 ppm.
Basic Maintenance: Add 1 level measuring spoon per 50 US gallons (190 liters) every two weeks.
High-Density Dosing: For heavily stocked coral systems, the dose can be adjusted up to 1 level measuring spoon per 50 US gallons (190 liters) weekly.
Natural Level Target: Seawater has a natural strontium concentration of 8 ppm. Monitor levels regularly to avoid overdosing.
Storage and safety
Store in a cool, dry place with the container lid tightly sealed.
Keep out of reach of children and pets.
First Aid: Irritating to eyes and skin. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with clean water. Do not breathe in the powder.
Warnings
Not for human consumption.
Do not mix dry powders directly together.
Excessively high strontium concentrations can damage corals; always verify levels before boosting your dose.
