Description
API Eco Strontium Marine Essential Reef Supplement
Maintain healthy strontium levels in your reef aquarium with API Eco Strontium Marine — an essential reef supplement derived from natural marine plant extracts, providing a unique slow-release formula that replenishes strontium depleted by natural marine aquarium processes.
Strontium plays a critical role in reef ecosystems — incorporated alongside calcium into aragonite, the mineral secreted by reef-building corals, coralline algae, tubeworms, and other invertebrates to form their skeletal structures. Maintaining strontium at the natural seawater concentration of approximately 8 ppm supports vigorous coral growth, strong skeletal formation, and a vibrant, thriving reef aquarium.
Unlike conventional strontium supplements, API Eco Strontium Marine uses a natural, plant-derived source of strontium with a slow-release formula — providing a more gentle, sustained delivery of strontium into the water column. The formula also contains molybdenum and other essential elements to further support reef health and water chemistry balance.
