Just got back my ICP. Does this look even possible? 144 times ideal?

I dosed silicon many months ago to treat dino's (which worked) but a lot of time has passed and I do around 1g AWC every day. Should have been long gone by now. What coupld possibly leach this much silicon?

Are you using tap water?

Do you have a diatom problem?

Si does not necessarily mean silicate, but if you do not have a diatom problem, I’d ignore it. It may be a bogus reading.

Red Sea tanks need Silicon to be 144X above normal (strength) from what I have seen.
