Barium Lab – 200ml

Barium Lab is a 200 ml liquid barium supplement for marine aquarists who need to maintain barium levels in saltwater tanks. Barium occurs naturally in seawater, but the inhabitants of a reef aquarium systematically consume it, so its reserves fall over time and need to be replenished.

Why it matters

• Barium is naturally present in seawater, so it is a normal component of a marine system rather than an additive with no reference point.
• Inhabitants of the aquarium systematically consume barium reserves, which is the reason for supplementation.
• The dose is precise: 1 ml raises barium by 0.005 mg/l (ppm) in 100 litres of water, so the effect can be calculated for a given tank volume.
• The 200 ml bottle allows measured, repeated dosing without handling large quantities of concentrate.

What it works with

Barium Lab is intended for saltwater and reef aquariums, as its category indicates. Dosing is calculated against the total water volume of the tank, using the 0.005 mg/l per 1 ml per 100 litres ratio, so it suits aquariums of any size as long as the volume is known.
