Description
Dosing barium in a marine aquarium is a relatively specialized practice when used in routine reefkeeping. It can offer specific benefits:
- Supports Skeletal Formation in Corals and Sponges – Barium can substitute for calcium in some biological processes, potentially aiding in the formation of skeletal structures in certain calcifying invertebrates, like coralline algae and some sponges.
- Enhances Growth of Certain Marine Plants and Algae – Some research suggests barium may play a role in the growth and health of specific marine organisms that incorporate barium into their structures.
- Barium may support skeletal growth in certain invertebrates and algae under specific circumstances.
ICP testing of marine aquarium tanks is fast becoming a must do part of our regular maintenance activities if we are to ensure the water quality remains pristine. We have listened to our customers and developed a range of the most required individual trace elements to tweak the levels in your system. It’s as simple as analysing your ICP test results, decide the level your tank should be at, enter values into our Trace Elements Dosing Calculator, add the recommended amount.
