Seachem MultiTest Silicate Test Kit
This kit measures silicates to less than 0.5 mg/L in marine or freshwater. MultiTest™ Silicate performs over 75 tests and contains a reference sample for validation.

This kit is designed to measure from low silicate concentrations (0.2 mg/L) to above natural seawater concentrations. This kit measures soluble silicate and reports it as silicate concentration. To convert to silicon, multiply by 0.3. Natural 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 1mg/L to minimize diatomaceous and other nuissance algae.
