Silicates (salts of silicic acid) are the cause of the growth of ugly diatoms. Using the test, you can determine the content of silicates to control the growth of diatoms in fresh and sea water,
the laboratory comparator system takes into account the color of the water: fill the cuvettes with water, add reagents , place the cuvettes in the comparator block, determine the value on a color scale
Application: when starting the aquarium, to check the tap water and in case of problems with diatoms
On the JBL website, in the section "Thematic Aquariums" , you will find detailed information about water analysis and problem solving
Included in the kit: a test for about 50 measurements, 2 reagents, 2 glass cuvettes with a lid, a measuring spoon, a syringe, a comparator unit and a color scale. Additional reagents are purchased separately
