After reading many good things about Strontium online and in The Reef Aquarium Vol III, I decided to give it a shot. I only do water changes once a month so I felt that my system was not receiving enough Strontium.

I have been dosing Strontium for almost a month know and have had some positive results. The first thing I noticed was new growth tips on almost all of my SPS. The addition of Strontium seems to have kick-started growth again.

One thing I did not like was the increase in pruple and pink coralline algae growth. Some people like corraline but I dont as it makes my job cleaning the glass much harder.

So, I like the additions of Strontium annd will continue to do so in the future.

I am using Sechem brand Strontium pictures above.

I have had similar experience with strontium additions, coralline algae grows much better.

Good stuff :)

A lot of the Coraline enhancers have Strontium in them. I should have looked at this post before I made my previous... Just noticed that.

Tank looks great sonny.

Vince,

I dose one teaspoon daily. The results are getting better and better and my corals have really taken off growth wise.

Sonny, It's great to hear about your experience with strontium. I am going to experiment with strontium myself and was just wondering what test kit you were using? If any? They say that it isn't wise to dose unless you can test. Regardless of this I would appreciate it if you could let me know whether or not you're testing.
