Does FM Phos 0,04 remove silicates?

[Muffin87]

I'm dosing a product to assist in sponge growth, which also requires some silicates.

Will Phos 0,04 remove silicates? Does the resin have a higher affinity for silicates than for phosphates?
Does it have a higher affinity for yellowing compounds, tannins than for PO4 and silicates?

Thank you!

Hi.
Yes Phos 0,04 also take silicates out but it has not a higer affinity to silicates as to Phosphates, The affinity is more on the side of organic compounds and colorbodies
