Hey everyone. Was just curious what brand of silicates do you dose? I was thinking of trying it out after I read a detailed write up by Dr. Randy. Thanks everyone!

Thank you. What was the calculation you used to dose into your system?I use this: Sodium Silicate / 4 Fluid Ounce Bottle / 99.9% Pure Reagent Grade / 41% Solution/USA https://a.co/d/eaIO1Sb
What was your calculation for dosing?

Click Randy’s name in this quote to get taken to the original thread.If you add 1.3 grams of this supplement (0.96 mL) to a tank with 100 gallons (378,500 mL), then the final concentration will be about 1 ppm SiO2.

Randy states that the exact dose of silica is not important. You can judge how much to dose by tracking diatom growth (if the algae on the glass starts turning green, dose silica).
I dose a capful once every 2 weeks. I purchased a silica checker and I tracked the depletion rate.Hey MR,
Where you dosing daily?
