Description

The Salifert strontium test kit detects both ionically free and moderately complexed strontium. Since the growth of corals and calcareous algae goes hand in hand with strontium and calcium depletion, depletion of calcium usually means depletion of strontium as well. Strontium plays an important role by accelerating coral and calcareous algae growth. Strontium measurement is a necessity, but is unfortunately a relatively difficult test. As a result, many hobbyists will not conduct the test frequently enough.

Tech Notes

Natural seawater contains approx. 7 – 9 mg/L strontium. It is advisable to maintain a strontium concentration between 5 and 20 mg/L.
