Strontium Lab 1L

Aquaforest Strontium Lab 1L is a strontium (Sr) supplement for marine reef aquariums with hard and soft corals. It is intended for keepers who test their water and want to correct strontium levels with a measured, volume-based dose.

Why it matters

• Hard coral skeleton: strontium takes part in building the skeletal tissue of stony corals.
• Calcium uptake: the manufacturer states that it significantly improves calcium absorption, which matters for corals that rely on calcium to grow.
• Soft coral growth: the product is also described as supporting the growth of soft corals.
• Predictable dosing: 10 ml raises strontium by 1 mg/l (ppm) in 100 litres of water, so the effect can be calculated for a given tank volume.

What it works with

The product is designed for marine reef aquariums, particularly systems with stony and soft corals. Because the dose is given per 100 litres, the amount needed depends directly on the tank volume and on the strontium level measured by a test. It should be used alongside regular water testing against the recommended 6.00–10.00 mg/l range.
