Strontium is found in the bones of fish and accounts for between 0.75 - 1.00% of the total mass of aragonite, the mineral secreted by reef-building marine invertebrates. Rapid growth rates of corals and other reef-building invertebrates witnessed when strontium is maintained at the natural seawater concentration of approximately 8 ppm suggest this element’s importance in the marine environment.
- High-purity powdered strontium.
- Incorporated by corals, clams, and other reef-building invertebrates into aragonite, the mineral that is secreted as skeletal material.
- Stronger and more economical than liquid strontium solutions; created for hobbyists maintaining multiple reef aquaria.
- Formulated by a marine scientist.
