Introduction
Typically, additions of Strontium to marine aquaria are done by the addition of Strontium Chloride (SrCl2). Strontium chloride is a salt of strontium and chlorine. It is ionic and water-soluble. It is less toxic than barium chloride, though more toxic than Calcium chloride. Strontium chloride should only be used as a supplement in marine aquaria, if it being tested for.
Reef aquaria enthusiasts add small amounts of strontium chloride to the water, as it is consumed in the production of the exoskeletons of certain plankton and other reef inhabitants.
