Turbo-Strontium

[goenzoy]

Hello to everyone,
Was just browsing through the product catalog of Kent Marine.
And saw different products related to Strontium.
Unfortunately I was unable to find much on the internet what explains
why Strontium is needed.Apart from references for books about Reef chemistry.And I don t want chemistry lessons to understand my Fish Tank.
Is there any reference listing which elements are important for certain species

Thanks in advance for any feedback

Don't do it.
Strontium is already in your salt mix. Adding more is for experts involved in specific areas of reef culture. All you need for a normal reef is Kent DKH Alk Buffer; Kent Turbo-calcium; Kent Tech-M [magnesium.] Do a 20% water change once monthly and all your trace elements will be replenished in about the rate the tank critters use them.

Sk8r thanks for your feedback
Was not interested to use more curios how to measure it and for what species it is critical

Ah. The alarm goes off whenever someone wants to dose traces, because you can get in so much trouble so fast! but knowledge is a Good Thing.
