Coincidently enough, some hobbyists are experimenting with silicate dosing to purposefully spark diatom growth and out-compete those dreaded dinoflagellates.
Salifert's Silicate Test kit is affordable costing only $0.27 per test and is very easy to use. The kit measures a wide range, starting as low as 0.03 ppm of Silicate all the way up through 15 ppm meaning its versatile, and will cover all your reef tank silicate testing needs.
