Overview
The Salifert Silicate Profi Test is a precision test kit used to measure silicate levels in marine and reef aquariums, a parameter closely linked to diatom (brown algae) outbreaks.
Elevated silicate is one of the most common causes of a persistent diatom bloom, and testing gives you the data to actually address the cause rather than just fighting the symptoms.
Key features
- Precision titration-based test for accurate silicate readings
- Salifert's reagent-based testing, well regarded in the hobby for accuracy
- Compact kit suited to regular use
Who it's for
Reef and marine keepers dealing with diatom outbreaks, or anyone wanting to check silicate levels in their source water or tank.
Setup & tips
- Test your RO/DI output water if you suspect silicate is coming from your top-up or make-up water
- Follow the reagent steps precisely and in order for an accurate result
- Pair with a silicate-removing media if levels are consistently elevated
