Strontium (Sr) is naturally incorporated into coral growth structures alongside calcium during calcification. In SPS and LPS-dominant reef systems with strong growth, strontium levels can decline over time — a pattern frequently identified via ICP analysis.

Although often underestimated, maintaining stable strontium levels can help support natural coral development, structure formation and consistent growth, particularly in actively growing reef aquarium systems.

Why Strontium Matters

Strontium is one of the most abundant trace elements in natural seawater after calcium and magnesium. During calcification, corals absorb strontium as part of their growth structure, particularly in SPS and LPS systems with rapid development. In ICP-managed trace dosing programs, strontium is often corrected to help maintain trace balance in reef environments focused on controlled growth performance.

Dosing Guidance

Oceamo Single Element Strontium provides a clearly defined dosing strength:

• 10 ml / 100 L = +1 mg/L (ppm)

• Maximum recommended increase: +1 mg/L (10 ml / 100 L per day)

• Clean concentration for controlled ICP-guided dosing

• Pharmaceutical-grade purity, produced and batch-tested in Oceamo’s dedicated Austrian laboratory

• Developed for reefkeepers who value consistency, accuracy and measurable trace control

• Designed for use in systems focused on structured growth and trace stability

When coral growth and trace precision matter, Oceamo delivers dependable, laboratory-grade strontium designed for modern ICP-managed reef systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need to dose strontium in my reef tank?
   Only if ICP testing confirms a deficit. SPS and LPS-dominant systems with rapid coral growth are most likely to require correction.

2. What does strontium do for corals?
   It is absorbed during coral growth and may support natural structure development and trace balance in actively calcifying systems.

3. Can I overdose strontium?
   Yes — as with all trace elements, it should be dosed carefully under ICP guidance and within recommended daily limits.
