This strontium is associated (”chelated”) with sulfate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Natural Strontium:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrontium supplements should be designed in such a way that a too low or a too high strontium concentration is avoided.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith this supplement we have reached this aim with an easy-to-use formulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInitial strontium concentration can easily be maintained when dosing the same amount as our Coral Calcium. This reduces the need for a strontium measurement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis supplement contains predominantly strontium sulfate 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 sea water as the sulfate just like this supplement!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso, all ingredients are of a pharmaceutical quality or even better. This ensures that no unwanted elements are added to your valuable aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSome other requirements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirections:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShake before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegular maintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDose the same ml’s as Coral Calcium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOtherwise:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDose 5 ml per 100 liters (25 gallons) once a week or 2 weeks and adjust dosage according to individual requirements (use a strontium test, e.g., Salifert’s Strontium Profi-Test).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery 5 ml per 10 liters (2.5 gallons) will increase the strontium concentration by approx. 2 mg\/L (2 ppm).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaintain a strontium concentration of 5 - 20 mg\/L.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eActive ingredients\u003c\/strong\u003e: strontium sulfate and salts of calcium, magnesium and sodium..\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep out of reach of children.
