Description

Coral Power Trace-A is a meticulously formulated blend of strontium (50,000 ppm) and barium, designed to replicate the natural marine environment.
Strontium, a crucial element for coral skeletal growth and colouration, is typically found in seawater at concentrations of 8-10 ppm. Maintaining levels within this range, ideally between 5-15 ppm, is essential for optimal coral health.

Coral Power Trace A is a meticulously formulated blend of strontium (50,000 ppm) and barium, essential elements for maintaining a thriving marine aquarium.

Why Strontium and Barium Matter:

Strontium:

Natural seawater contains 8-10 ppm of strontium.
Strontium plays a pivotal role in the skeletal structure of corals. While natural seawater contains approximately 8-10 ppm of strontium, marine aquariums often experience depletion. To ensure optimal coral growth, it's recommended to maintain strontium levels within the 5-15 ppm range.

  • Maintaining strontium levels within the optimal range of 5-15 ppm is crucial for coral health.
  • Anecdotal evidence suggests that strontium levels below 5 ppm can hinder coral growth.
  • Regular testing is recommended for advanced aquarists to monitor strontium uptake in their systems.
  • By calculating the depletion rate, you can accurately determine the necessary dosage to replenish strontium levels.

Barium:

Barium plays a vital role in coral skeleton formation and overall health.

Dosage Recommendations:

  • Beginner Aquarists:

    • Start with a conservative dosage of 1 drop (0.05 ml) per 100 liters of tank water daily.
    • Gradually increase the dosage to 2-3 drops per 100 liters over a month, depending on coral density and water test results.
    • Do not exceed 4 drops per 100 liters in heavily stocked systems.
  • Advanced Aquarists:

    • A dosage of 0.1 ml (2 drops) per 100 liters of tank water raises strontium levels by 0.05 ppm.
    • Determine the strontium depletion rate in your aquarium and adjust the dosage accordingly.

Remember:

  • Regular water testing is crucial to monitor nutrient levels and adjust dosing as needed.
  • Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines for safe and effective use.

By incorporating Coral Power Trace A into your aquarium maintenance routine, you can provide your corals with the essential elements they need to thrive, resulting in vibrant colours and robust growth.
