{"product_id":"seachem-multitest™-silicate","title":"Seachem MultiTest Silicate","description":"\u003cp\u003eNatural sea water contains about 10 mg\/L as silicate. In reef or other marine aquaria, silicate should be 1 mg\/L or less. Silicate is non-toxic to fish and invertebrates, but is ideally kept below 1 mg\/L to minimize diatomaceous algae. In freshwater, silicate is not critical. Usually, freshwater silicate concentrations will range in the area of 4–20 mg\/L.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMultiTest Silicate measures silicates to less than 0.5 mg\/L in marine or freshwater. This kit measures soluble silicate and reports it as silicate concentration. To convert to silicon, multiply by 0.3. It performs over 75 tests and contains a reference sample for validation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"main\" class=\"main\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-short-description image-margin-pull test\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list list-icons list-icons-style-3 list-icons\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeasures silicates to less than 0.5 mg\/L\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMulti-cavity plate for simultaneous testing of up to 6 tests at the same time\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIncludes reference for test validation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMarine and freshwater\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e75 Tests\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMultiTest \u003cspan\u003eSilicate\u003c\/span\u003e performs over 75 tests\u003cbr\u003eAnd with the multi-cavity test plate, multiple tests can be run at the same time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccuracy\u003cbr\u003eRange - \u003c\/strong\u003eMeasures between \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-light text-weight-bold\"\u003e0–25 mg\/L\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e silicate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cspan\u003eDetectable changes on the color chart in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-light text-weight-bold\"\u003e0.1–1 mg\/L \u0026amp; 0.01–0.1 mg\/L\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e increments\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference Sample\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt isn't necessary to run a reference test to use this kit; however, its proper performance can be validated by running a test in the normal manner except that the reference sample is used in place of aquarium sample.
