The JBL Si Silicate Test-Set PRO is a colorimetric test designed to accurately measure the silicate content in freshwater and marine aquariums. Controlling silicates is essential to limit the growth of brown algae (diatoms).
Test type: silicates (SiO₂).
Compatibility: freshwater and marine aquariums.
Number of measurements: up to 50 tests.
Method: comparative colorimetric test.
Silicates are a major source of nutrients for brown algae. This test allows for the quick identification of excessive silicate concentrations, often linked to tap water, substrates, or certain decorations. The measurement is based on a color reaction whose intensity is compared to a provided scale.
A complete JBL Si Silicate Test-Set PRO including necessary reagents, test tubes, measuring spoon, syringe, and colorimetric chart.
Conduct the test in clear water and precisely follow the provided protocol. Compare the obtained coloration to the scale immediately after the indicated reaction time. In case of high levels, consider using anti-silicate resins or adapting the water source.
