Silicate14+

Silicate¹⁴+ supplies a reef-safe, bio-available silicate source for marine aquaria. Controlled additions of silicate encourage diatom blooms, which rapidly outcompete nuisance dinoflagellates. Diatoms may leave a temporary brown film on rock and sand; this is expected and will clear naturally once silicates are depleted. Silicate is also a vital nutrient for sponges and other siliceous filter feeders, making Silicate¹⁴+ a valuable supplement for biodiversity.

Directions / Mode d’emploi

DIRECTIONS
Use only from a current silicate result and a livestock-specific target. 1 mL per 25 L (≈6.6 US gal) raises SiO₂ by approximately 1.10 ppm. Do not raise SiO₂ by more than 1 ppm in 24 hours or above 3 ppm in total. Measure in 0.1 mL increments and retest after 24 hours.

WARNINGS
Strongly alkaline liquid. Avoid eye and skin contact. Never combine directly with acids or other concentrates. Excess silicate can sustain diatom growth.

For aquarium use only. Do not ingest. Avoid eye and skin contact. Keep out of reach of children.

MODE D’EMPLOI
Utiliser seulement à partir d’un résultat récent de silicate et d’une cible adaptée aux organismes. 1 mL par 25 L (≈6,6 gal US) augmente le SiO₂ d’environ 1,10 ppm. Ne pas augmenter le SiO₂ de plus de 1 ppm en 24 heures ni au-delà de 3 ppm au total. Mesurer par incréments de 0,1 mL et refaire le test après 24 heures.

AVERTISSEMENTS
Liquide fortement alcalin. Éviter tout contact avec les yeux et la peau. Ne jamais mélanger directement avec des acides ou d’autres concentrés. Un excès de silicate peut favoriser les diatomées.

Pour aquariums seulement. Ne pas ingérer. Éviter le contact avec les yeux et la peau. Tenir hors de la portée des enfants.
