Salifert Strontium ProfiTest kit

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 measurement is a necessity but is unfortunately a relatively difficult test. Perhaps in forthcoming years this will change when newer and easier methods for strontium measurement will become available. It therefore is a test, which many hobbyists will not conduct frequently enough.

For that particular reason strontium additives should be designed in such a way that a too low or a too high strontium concentration is avoided.

The Salifert strontium test kit detects both ionically free and moderately complexed strontium. Salifert was the first to introduce a strontium test kit.
