Salifert Silicate Test Kit - 60 tests

The Salifert Silicate Test Kit is a laboratory-grade titration kit that measures silicate (SiO₂) in a reef marine aquarium. Silicate mainly comes from tap water or poorly filtered RO/DI water — a spike triggers a bloom of brown diatoms on sand and glass. This kit lets you validate top-off water quality and confirm a properly functioning RO/DI system.Precision: 0,15 ppm — enough to catch a spike before diatoms take off. Range: 0 to 3 ppm SiO₂ with 0.15 ppm precision. Number of tests: 30 tests per kit. Clean-colour-change titration — no subjective reading. Instructions, dosing syringe and test vials included. Erroneous results might be obtained when the carbonate hardness is higher that 20dKH. This corresponds to an alkalinity of 7meq/l. Normally the carbonate hardness is well below the above mentioned values. Measurement range: 0 to 3 ppm SiO₂ with 0.15 ppm precision
