How do you know when the anion is exhausted @kharmaguru

Silicates require anion for removal. They state 'silicon' (which silicates are molecularly comprised of) in your report, but I don't know if other silicon based elements would require cation instead. I certainly don't want to steer you wrong.Lol
Good question since colour indication is dubious at best and a TDS meter would still show a value since positive ions would still be in the water.
Yep, the wording is a little confusing. Perhaps it relates to your above question of exhaustion but more likely is just telling people that running one without the other does not fully purify your water.
Perhaps just adding more mixed bed DI stages is the answer, but I would be sad if the silicates just continued to shred half your mixed beds, when pure anion would have done a better job. We should not forget that BRS has an agenda to sell you as much stuff as possible. There surely are some less financially motivated sources to glean this information from out there
So, I would need this added to my 4 stage with mixed bed?

Clear Refillable Cartridge for DI Resin
Filling a DI Cartridge is easy. The most important thing to remember is to tightly pack the DI resin into the cartridge. Loose DI will cause the water to channel through the DI, greatly reducing the effectiveness. Available in Four Sizes: 2.5" x 10" Cartridge (Standard - most used cartridge...

Years ago I have supported a customer with high metal readings in his report list. I was not able to identify the source, but told him that there is a metal source in his tank. He claimed that all of his components were new and clean. After the next analysis I told him again that there is a metal source in his tank. He said it is impossible.
His corals got problems with tissue necrosis. Guess what I told him? At a certain point he went crazy and opend the cases of the window cleaning magnet, pumps, the magnet holder of a fish feeding ring and the titanium heater. Only the pumps were fine.
The outside of the titanium heater was not the problem, but it was not water proof and inside he found rust/corrosion.
Since then I had a lot of customers with the same problem. Therefore I recommend to use glas heaters.

I base my idea on what I said about silicate buster cartridges - they have extra anion. That tells me the quantity of resins do not need to be equal.
Silicates are fuel for diatoms and sponges and probably some other things. Not sure if they bother corals.

Another option (because I'm frugal) would be a housing and cartridge filled with Phosguard. I used to get it in bulk back in the day and I used to run it after the RO and before the DI stage to catch any excess silicates from my well water. Only problem was it was quite dusty at first and I had to let it run for 1/2 hour the first time before adding in the DI. I did that for years but I was never testing for silicates, so I had no real idea that it was necessary for me anyway and just stopped doing it. Just mentioning it to show there are a few ways to skin a cat.

And here I thought it did not look that bad!
Shows how much I know about trace elements.
He is indicating that your DI resin is bad or assumed it is missing?
Curious if this really matters. Plenty of folks ICP test with everything from IO to exotics.
Wondering what the titanium is all about, unless he is indicating the commonly leak. I was not aware they Ti was reactive.
I think he found some that were rusting on the inside due to poor seal.
He was referring to the silica.
Me too
