Description:
KENT MARINE TURBO-STRONTIUM provides strontium for lush growth of
purple, pink and green calcareous algae, snails, hard tube worms and
clams. Strontium is very similar to calcium as invertebrates use it to
form skeletal structures. Coral traditionally respond by staying open
longer and as it aids tissue adhesion to skeleton.
Directions:
Make a 10% (by
weight) stock solution by mixing 10 grams of TURBO STRONTIUM powder
with 100 milliliters of reverse osmosis or deionized water .
(Assistance in measurement, 10 grams is about 3/4's of a tablespoon,
100 milliliters is 3 1/3 oz. or about a half a cup) Add 1/2 teaspoon
(2.5 ml) of this stock solution per 50 gallons (180 liters) of aquarium
water, every week. (Daily addition is always more beneficial, so
one-seventh of this amount can be added daily). Strontium is the second
most important additive to the reef aquarium (calcium being the most
important). Adding more than the recommended amount of TURBO STRONTIUM
is generally very safe and can be beneficial in many cases,
particularly when you have heavy animal loads. If you decide to
increase the dosage, just read the cautions below, and cut back should
any adverse reactions be noticed.
Considerations for use:
This
product contains anhydrous strontium chloride (no molybdenum). It
should be used by experienced reef keepers who desire to rapidly raise
the strontium level in their tanks. Novices or casual users should use
Kent Marine Strontium & Molybdenum supplement instead of this
product.
