Salifert Profi Test Kits for reef, marine and advanced freshwater aquarists are some of the most precise and accurate test kits on the market. Kits are available for all aspects of the aquarium's chemistry, covering organic and inorganic pollutants as well as valuable marine trace elements to allow for accurate dosing when additives are required.
Silicate occurs especially in tap water or in purified water. Silicate not only results in diatom bloom but might also block some essential trace elements such as vanadium and molybdenum. Salifert offers a very sensitive and accurate silicate test kit. Silicate content can be decreased by using the granular Phosphate-Killer or the liquid Phosphate-Eliminator. Approximately 60 tests per kit. The range is 0.03 - 30 ppm as SiO2.
