Triton Strontium 1000ml – Essential Trace Element for Skeletal GrowthTriton Strontium is a high-purity, concentrated supplement designed to maintain and correct strontium (Sr) levels in marine reef aquariums. Strontium is a major trace element found in natural seawater at approximately 8 mg/L. It is chemically similar to calcium and is actively incorporated into the aragonite skeletons of stony corals and the shells of invertebrates. Maintaining correct strontium levels is vital for the structural integrity of the reef and has been shown to significantly enhance the growth rates of SPS and LPS corals. In closed systems, strontium is depleted rapidly as corals grow, making targeted supplementation necessary to prevent skeletal brittleness.
Triton Strontium provides the pharmaceutical-grade purity required to support the long-term health of your reef’s foundation.
Supports Skeletal Development: Essential for the formation of dense, healthy aragonite structures in reef-building corals.
Synergistic with Calcium: Works alongside calcium and magnesium to optimize the calcification process and improve coral resilience.
Enhances Invertebrate Health: Critical for the development of shells in mollusks and the skeletal plates of sea urchins and other calcifying invertebrates.
Prevents Skeletal Brittleness: Maintaining natural levels ensures that coral skeletons are strong and less prone to breakage during handling or high-flow conditions.
Laboratory Grade Purity: Produced to the highest standards to ensure the solution is free from contaminants, heavy metals, or unwanted nutrients.
| Parameter | Recommended Value |
| Optimal Strontium Range | 8 – 10 mg/L |
| Concentration | High-Purity Liquid Solution |

How do I know if I need to dose Strontium? Strontium levels are difficult to measure accurately with home test kits. The most reliable way to monitor Strontium is through Triton ICP-OES testing, which provides a precise mg/L reading and a custom dosing recommendation.
What are the signs of Strontium deficiency? Symptoms can be subtle but often manifest as slowed coral growth or "fragile" skeletons that break easily. Coralline algae may also struggle to plate over rocks if strontium is severely depleted.
Can I overdose Strontium? Yes. Excessively high strontium levels (above 15 mg/L) can be stressful to some marine organisms and may interfere with the uptake of other essential elements like calcium. Always dose based on verified test results.
Is this part of the daily dosing routine? While some strontium is included in the Triton Core7 Base Elements, high-growth tanks often require additional "targeted" dosing of Strontium to keep up with coral consumption.

Triton Barium (Ba): Another trace element often associated with skeletal growth that should be monitored alongside Strontium.
