Keep strontium in line with calcium and alkalinity work.
Strontium sits alongside calcium chemically and is incorporated into the skeleton by many corals. It supports calcification together with Ca and KH. In seawater it is a trace on a major-ion scale; big jumps are rarely needed and it tracks best with steady Ca/KH maintenance.
