Seachem Reef Strontium is a highly bioavailable, laboratory-grade liquid supplement engineered to restore and maintain strontium to levels naturally found in pristine seawater without altering your aquarium's pH. Strontium occurs in natural seawater at a concentration of approximately 8 to 10 mg/L. Because it is chemically similar to calcium, reef-building organisms—including stony corals, tridacnid clams, and coralline algae—incorporate it directly into their skeletal matrices to sustain strong, vigorous growth rates.
Core Technical Advantages
Concentration Profile: Contains 10,000 mg/L of fully available strontium.
Strontium Gluconate Complex: Unlike standard ionic strontium chloride additives, Seachem uses an organic gluconate complex. This offers several unique biological benefits:
Enhanced Bioavailability: The organic bond prevents the strontium from easily binding with free carbonates, keeping it in suspension longer so corals can easily absorb it.
Metabolic Energy Source: The gluconate component acts as a direct, rich source of cellular energy that corals utilize to fuel rapid tissue growth.
Inhibits Precipitation: Prevents accidental calcium carbonate precipitation and protects your system against unexpected alkalinity depletion.
Algae-Safe Formulation: Gluconate is completely free of nitrogen and phosphorus, meaning it is biologically impossible for this supplement to fuel nuisance hair or bubble algae outbreaks.
