Seachem MultiTest Silicato Test Kit, 75 test

Brand:Seachem

3.1/5

44.63

Acqua di mare naturale Contiene circa 10 mg/L di silicato. Nella barriera corallina o in altri acquari marini, il silicato dovrebbe essere pari o inferiore a 1 mg/L. Il silicato non è tossico per i pesci e gli invertebrati, ma è idealmente mantenuto al di sotto di 1 mg/L per ridurre al minimo le alghe diatomee. In acqua dolce, il silicato non è critico. Di solito, le concentrazioni di silicato in acqua dolce variano nell'area di 4–20 mg/L. Il silicato multitest misura i silicati a meno di 0,5 mg/L in acqua marina o dolce. Questo kit misura il silicato solubile e lo riporta come concentrazione di silicato. Per convertire in silicio, moltiplicare per 0,3. Esegue oltre 75 test e contiene un campione di riferimento per la validazione.

Marino e d'acqua dolce. Include riferimento per la convalida del test. Piastra multicavità per test simultanei fino a 6 test contemporaneamente. Misura i silicati a meno di 0,5 mg/L.

Good test but you MUST use a timer and accuratly measure the sample
This test worked well. The key to this test is ensuring you use the right amount of water to sample and waiting the time instructed in each step. Fill the pipette to the top of the throat (no lower, no higher) with the water you are testing. Then wait exactly the amount of time they say (I used a timer) between steps. Don be afraid of the "dusting" in other reviews. just get a little on the stirrer and stir. A few grains is all that is needed and if you go over a bit it doesn't affect the results. This is my water. I tested multiple samples from my tap water, RODI filter and saltwater aquarium to see where the Silicates are coming from. Once you mix the reagents to the samples as instructed, you compare the results to a gauge. Here are my results: The top left is the "calibration" test (included) of 6ppm. Top Right is RODI from my RODI filter. I got 0 ppm Middle right is RO taken before the DI from my RODI filter. (its zero and the same as RO) I also got 0 ppm Middle left and bottom right is my tank water. I did two tests at different times to see if they came out the same (and they did). this way I know I was doing them right I got under 1 ppm but not zero as I had hoped (diatom food in my tank) Bottom Left is my tap water (WOW). Off the chart and at least 25ppm. I interpret the results as this. My tap water is loaded with silicates and will filter it to an undetectable level. My tank has some (not zero). the result is the silicates are likely comming from my sand and rock (as I expected). The ditoms should consume the silicats over time.

Doesn't Seem to Meet My Needs
I purchased this kit for testing silicate in my 28g Reef Aquarium. It doesn't seem to show any noticeable results even when using the low rang part of the test. I even tested my tap water with it and could barely pick up a reading. I've followed the test procedures correctly and have achieved the same results numerous times. This does not necessarily mean that the product does not work. It is possible that I have zero silicates in my aquarium and close to zero in my tap water but this seems unlikely to me. It also includes a certified standard/solution that you can test to double check that the kit is working properly. I couldn't seem to get accurate results which is another reason I'm not in favor of this product. Anyways, I give this product three stars because upon using the test kit, I receive a very low level of confidence in the results. All my other test kits and electronic testing meters leave me feeling certain. This does not.

Seems to read accurately - helped us get rid of Silica from our tanks
This was very helpful in testing our fish tanks to find what was feeding the brown algae. Turns out our city water has a lot of Silica in it and some phosphates. I used this kit to test our city water from the faucet as well as the tank water. I started by first doing an initial test using the sample water that comes with the kit to make sure I was doing it right. Sample tested at 6 like it should so then I proceed to test the fish tank and faucet water. Then we purchased PhosGuard to put in the filters to remove the silica and phosphates. I continued to test with this kit weekly, to watch the silica levels go down in the fish tank. And now we know to use filtered water for the tank to keep out the silica and phosphates to begin with.

Does what it says
Ordered this to test for silicates in both my tap and aquarium water due to frequent diatom outbreaks. Test is fairly easy to use and gives accurate readings. If you need to test for silicates, get this! It works!

Not ideal for low range read
Dosing silicate to combat Dino… goal is under 2 in which falls under low range and it extremely difficult or I personally think impossible to differentiate the colors when they are almost near the same… not a great test kit for low range and decided to return it

Not accurate enough for a marine aquarium
Not accurate in my opinion, the amounts measured are very vague and causes inconsistencies. Total waste of money and time, better off spending the extra and getting a one off ICP-OES test

Give it a miss...!!!
Like many other reviewers, this test is not fit for purpose. The reproducibility and repeatability of the results are not adequate. Even the reference sample that is provided that should be 6mg/l always reads below 4mg/l. I would say that this kit can only detect if silicate levels are completely out of control....20mg/l+. I normally like and use Seachem products as my go to products but this is one to miss.

Efectivo y relativamente fácil de aplicar
No hay algo que no me guste. Supongo que se requieren los cuatro reactivos y los dos periodos de espera para obtener la lectura. Me ayudó mucho para controlar una plaga de diatomea en acuario de agua dulce. Definitivamente parecen correlacionarse la cantidad de silicatos y la cantidad de diatomeas.
