Hello!
I have read Randy Holmes-Farleys instructions regarding silicate dosing using sodium silicate.
However i was only able to find locally 40% potassium silicate "water glass" or silicate supplement for hydroponic farming (https://advancedhydro.com/products/14/advanced-silica), which contains unknown amount of orthosilicic acid and silicon dioxide.
Would it be safe to dose either one for raising silicates in reef tank?
And if dosing 40% potassium silicate, would the dose be same as with 40% sodium silicate?
Thank you
