Why is strontium important for my marine aquarium?

Strontium is a macronutrient and one that's essential for promoting healthy growth in corals. It works similarly to calcium and, like calcium, is used as an essential building block in the development of a coral's exoskeleton. It's also used by corals to regulate growth in certain areas, promoting stable and natural growth patterns.

Strontium has another important function too, protecting corals delicate tissues from parasites. Together with some other elements, strontium strengthens their immune systems and keeps them healthy. It can also enhance the colour of blue-coloured corals.

If strontium levels are low in your reef tank, then your corals may exhibit a loss in colour. Their skeletons may also become softer. Remedy this with a dose of Strontium Reef Minerals, though be sure not to add too much as a high concentration of strontium can cause other adverse health problems in your corals.
