{"product_id":"seachem-reef-advantage-strontium","title":"Seachem Reef Advantage Strontium","description":"\u003cp\u003eStrontium occurs in natural seawater at a concentration of about 8 to 10 mg\/L. It is chemically very similar to calcium, and many organisms incorporate it in their skeletons along with calcium. Its addition to reef aquariums aids the growth of corals, coralline algae and other organisms that lay down a calcereous skeleton or shell, including tridacnid clams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReef Advantage Strontium restores and maintains strontium to levels found in natural sea water. Strontium is utilised by corals in the same manner as calcium and holds a similar importance in maintaining a vigorous level of growth. It is most useful in densely populated aquariums requiring a continuous supply of strontium. Reef Advantage Strontium is a highly concentrated (30,000 ppm), ionically balanced strontium supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike other strontium chloride products, Reef Advantage Strontium is formulated so that it can be added directly to the aquarium. Competing products require one to mix a separate solution before adding it to the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list list-icons list-icons-style-3 list-icons\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRestores and maintains strontium to levels found in natural sea water\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDry strontium chloride\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVitally important in preventing ionic imbalance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirections:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeginner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUse 6 g (1 level teaspoon) per 150 L (40 gallons) twice a week.

Each 6 g\/150 L will raise strontium by about 2 mg\/L. Amount or frequency can be adjusted as needed. Thereafter, use as required to maintain strontium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpert\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter determining the strontium depletion rate, set up a continuous drip system. Use the following formula (or skip the math and use our Dosage Calculator) to determine how much to add to your top-off water: m=vs\/30 (m=grams to add to top off water, v=volume of tank in liters, s=amount to raise strontium in mg\/L). For example, if you want to raise strontium by 6 mg\/L in a 200 L aquarium, then you would add (200x6)\/30=40 g into the top-off water. [For reference: 1 gallon = 3.8 liters]. Use the Reef Status: Strontium test kit to check strontium levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDO NOT OVERDOSE: Excess strontium may enhance the loss of carbonate alkalinity. Do not directly mix with any carbonate supplement. Best if strontium \u0026amp; carbonate additives are added on alternate days or at least 30 minutes apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-4\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-striped font-size-sm\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAmounts per 1 g\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStrontium (Sr)(min)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-8\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-size-sm line-height-md\"\u003eIngredients: strontium chloride\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Seachem","offers":[{"title":"300G","offer_id":47223000858801,"sku":null,"price":19.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0665\/4194\/5009\/files\/0656-Reef-Adv-Strontium-300-g.png?v=1777508541","url":"https:\/\/bennysaquarium.com\/products\/seachem-reef-advantage-strontium","provider":"Benny's Aquarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
