Description
hw strontip
Strontium supplement for marine and reef aquariums
hw strontip is a concentrated strontium supplement for marine and reef aquariums. It supports the growth and pigmentation of stony and soft corals, molluscs and calcareous algae.
The combination of ingredients supports strontium uptake into cells and tissues and helps maintain the supply to reef organisms.
Strontium in natural seawater
Strontium is present in natural seawater and in hw Marinemix professional and hw Marinemix reefer at a concentration of approximately 8–10 mg/l.
Strontium (Sr) has properties similar to calcium (Ca). Many marine organisms incorporate it into skeletal structures together with calcium. Regular supplementation with hw strontip supports the supply to calcifying organisms such as stony corals, Tridacna clams and calcareous algae.
Maintaining a suitable strontium concentration supports the healthy growth of Acropora corals.
Application and dosage
Add 2 ml hw strontip per 100 litres of aquarium water every 14 days. In densely stocked aquariums, the dose may be increased to a maximum of 2.5 ml per 100 litres every 14 days.
Alternatively, add 3 ml per 40 US gallons every 14 days, increasing to a maximum of 4 ml per 40 US gallons in densely stocked aquariums.
Excessive dosing can harm aquarium organisms. When using higher doses, check the strontium concentration in the aquarium water.
