Strontium testing

Is it really necessary to test for strontium regularly? When do I need to and why? What signs would my tank show that would suggest it?

Unless you are dosing it I would say no.
If you are dosing it, and I don't know why you would, then yes.

Personally, I would ignore strontium and concentrate on keeping Ca, Alk, and magnesium levels were they need to be.
