TMC Tropic Marin Bio-Strontium 200g
- Contains strontium carbonate for corals and carbon dioxide for zooxanthellae.
- Measured amount of strontium in a truly ionically balanced formula.
- Contains all 70 trace elements found in natural sea water
- Only natural substances are formed when dissolved: no chelates, no phosphates, no nitrates.
Biologically Ideal Strontium Supplement for Reef Aquariums.
A sufficient supply of strontium and carbon dioxide is as essential for the growth and well-being of reef-building corals as calcium. Both elements are supplied to the corals with the help of the zooxanthellae (algae) that live symbiotically within them. Bio-Strontium creates a natural environment in the aquarium and delivers strontium and carbon dioxide in a natural, biologically-available ionically balanced form.
Dosage:
1 level measuring spoon increases the strontium level of 10 US Gal. / 8 Imp.Gal. / 37 l by about 2 ppm (2 mg/l). The natural concentration of seawater is 8 ppm (8 mg/l). In a reef aquarium the concentration of strontium decreases quickly through biological processes, precipitation and by the use in calcareous animals. A basic dosage of 1 level measuring spoon per 50 US Gal. / 42 Imp.Gal. / 190 l every two weeks is recommended. In an aquarium with a high population, the dosage can be as much as 1 level measuring spoon per 50 US Gal. / 42 Imp.Gal. / 190 l each week. High strontium concentrations in the aquarium may damage corals. Always be sure to monitor the strontium concentration with a Strontium Test.

We aim to dispatch items that are currently in stock on the same working day if they are ordered before 2.45 pm (excluding Bank Holidays). Orders after 3pm will be dispatched the following working day, unless it fits any of the below criteria:
- Orders containing live plants will take up to 2 weeks to arrive. We take a week's worth of customer orders and then inform the plant farms of the specific quantities we need to fulfil that week's order to avoid wastage.
- Pallet orders containing large items like big aquariums will take additional time to arrive as they are sent by a third party. These orders will NOT be dispatched until we have been in touch to arrange a delivery date, this is to ensure someone is available at your address to sign for the delivery. Deliveries will generally be delivered ‘curb side’ within the terms of the agreement we have with our couriers so you will need to make arrangements to transfer larger items into your home yourself. Unfortunately, our drivers are not insured to transfer the aquarium into your home.
