Hi,
What is an acceptable silicate level in RO water?
The place where I get my RO water has a silica level off 3 ppm.
The silica level in my tank is almost not traceable but I do have a consistent brown algea problem.
Salinity : 1024
Calcium : 420
PH : 8.1
Alkalinity : 7.8 dKH
Silicate : not traceable
Phospate: 0.04
Nitrate : 3 ppm
Magnesium : 1315
Temperature : between 24 and 25 Celsius
fish : 2 sphaeramia, 2 pterapogon kauderni, 1 salarias fasciatus, 2 Valenciennea sexguttata, 4 Archaster angulatus
corals : euphyllia glabrescens, pom-pom xenia, sarcophyton brown, briareum green
Tank : 158 gal / 600 liter
Sump : 35 gal / 130 liter
Skimmer : Deltec SC 1455
Dosing pump : Marine Magic Aquarium Doser - Triple
Reactor : FMR75 KIT Fluidised Reactor with bio pellets (1500 ltr/h; 356 gal/h)
Powerheads : 2x Sicce Voyager 8 (12000 ltr/h ; 3170 gal/h) + wave surfer kit (switch every 15 seconds).
Cirulation pump : Aqua Medic ECO Runner 6000 (6000 ltr/h; 1585 gal/h)
