SALIFERT TEST SILICATE – Accurate Silicate Testing Kit for Freshwater, Marine and RO/DI Water Systems
Salifert Test Silicate is a highly sensitive test kit designed to detect silicate (SiO₂) levels in aquariums and purified water sources. Silicates are commonly found in tap water or in reverse osmosis (RO) and deionized (DI) water when filtration systems are not functioning correctly. Elevated silicate levels can lead to diatom blooms and interfere with essential trace elements like vanadium and molybdenum.
The Salifert Silicate Test Kit offers precise detection within a range of 0.03 to 30 ppm, making it suitable for both ultra-low and high concentration environments. With approximately 60 tests per kit, it is ideal for regular monitoring in reef tanks, freshwater systems, and RO/DI output.
In cases of high silicate levels, removal can be achieved using specialized phosphate removers such as Phosphate-Killer or Phosphate-Eliminator, which also have a high affinity for silicates.
