Salifert Profi Strontium Test Kit is available from Swell UK.

Salifert Profi Test Kits for reef, marine and advanced freshwater aquarists are some of the most precise and accurate test kits on the market. Kits are available for all aspects of the aquarium's chemistry, covering organic and inorganic pollutants as well as valuable marine trace elements to allow for accurate dosing when additives are required. The kits feature bold colour changes and good colour comparison charts and offer quick and easy water testing.

There are 16 kits in the range, and most are suitable for both freshwater and saltwater environments (unless otherwise stated).

Strontium Profi-Test: • In a marine aquarium strontium plays an important role in accelerating the growth of coral and calcareous algae and natural sea water contains approx. 7 - 9 mg/L strontium.

• Strontium is very difficult to test for, but if there is found to be a depletion of calcium in the aquarium then strontium levels is likely to be very low as well.

• It is advisable to maintain a strontium concentration of between 5 and 20 mg/L.

• Salifert was the first to introduce a strontium test kit and this test measures both ionically free and moderately complex strontium in increments of 5 mg/L.

• Salifert produces both a Strontium Additive and a Coral Calcium additive for when corrective measures are needed.

• Sufficient for up to 40 tests - for marine use only.
