FAQs
How often should I dose Reef Advantage Strontium?
Dosing frequency depends on your aquarium's consumption rate. Monitor levels with a reliable test kit and adjust your schedule accordingly.
Can I add this directly to my aquarium?
Yes, it is designed for direct addition, but adding it to a high-flow area is recommended to ensure quick dispersion.
Does this replace calcium supplements?
No, it is a strontium supplement that supports growth in a similar way to calcium, but it does not replace the need for calcium supplementation.
Is it safe for all corals?
Yes, it is formulated to be safe for all reef-dwelling organisms when dosed according to the recommended instructions.
What happens if I overdose?
Excessive strontium levels can potentially cause stress to sensitive invertebrates. Perform a partial water change if you accidentally overdose.
Troubleshooting
Powder is clumping in the container
Ensure the container is kept in a dry area and the lid is sealed tightly after every use.
Strontium levels are not rising despite dosing
Verify the expiration date of your test kit and ensure your coral density isn't exceeding the daily supplement dosage rate.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Highly concentrated formula reduces the need for frequent container replacements
- Easy to dose directly into the water column
- Supports robust coral growth and skeletal health
- Cost-effective for large or heavily stocked systems
Cons
- Requires careful measurement to avoid over-dosing
- Dry powder requires proper dissolution to prevent clumping
- Needs consistent monitoring to maintain natural seawater levels
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To setup your dosing routine, dissolve the required amount of powder in freshwater (preferably RO/DI) before adding it to the aquarium, or add directly to the system in a high-flow area. Ensure the supplement is compatible with your current reef additives; while it works well alongside standard reef calcium and alkalinity supplements, always test in small increments. Store the container in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly closed to prevent moisture from hardening the powder.
