Strontium (Sr) is in the same family as calcium (Ca). Yes, it's been shown to be taken up in coral skeletons - but not a huge percent of the elemental structure.
The old discussion has been are corals taking up the Sr because it "looks like" Ca, or do they actually use it, or "want" Sr?
Among those folks supplementing carbonate and calcium via a 2 part solution, is anyone also supplementing Sr?
Those of you using calcium reactors, I reckon you don't worry about Sr or other trace elements. If it's in the ancient coral media, it eventually goes into solution and into your tank. Yes?
