Dosis dari artikel original:
Dosage is as follows aquarium volume/15= x value. X value *.2 = dosage. Needs to be shaken vigorously and added with minimally 100ml rodi to avoid any perspiration. You can then dispense slowly into a high flow area. Make sure you monitor your alkalinity as sodium silicate is alkaline and can cause an alkalinity spike on lower demanding tanks. Also it’s worth noting that there are no accurate silicate test kits. The only accurate method is an icp test or even easier to use your microscope to track both diatom and dino progression.
