Hi,
As title says:
I have found my RODI contains quite high levels of silicon (from ATI test 399.2 µg/l but only 74.14 µg/l in my DT).
My LFS told me that my GHA problems could be caused by silicates and I should use a silicate remover.
Do you think that despite low nutrients (0.03 phos, 2ppm nitrates) the reason behind GHA growth is actually silicate being consumed by GHA everytime my ATO pours water?
This would make things much easier. I tried many ways to kill them but they still grow (despite they grow much slower now).
