I have more silicon in my tank than a trendy NYC nightclub:eek1:
I guess I need to service my R/O unit. In the mean time I've deployed a product called Phos-zorb. (It's supposed to remove silicates as well.) I hope this stuff doesn't have aluminum in it, they claim it's reef safe. (I read in Eric B's book some do have Al. I sent an e-mail to the mfg. but they never responded.) Meanwhile the problematic caulerpa and valonia growth has since slowed considerably. After servicing the R/O unit and doing a few water exchanges I'll have my brother do another ICP test. I expect better numbers this time.
I've made some major changes in my tank equiptment and my husbandry techniques. I added a 29g sump, an Iwaki md55rlt return pump, a couple maxijet1200's, traded my Remora pro skimmer for a more powerful beckett bullet model, stopped with most chemical additives, added a Ca reactor, and I stopped doing so may water exchanges.
Ron, thanks for your work! You're an asset to our hobbie. The magazine was a big surprise. It's nice to see Randy involved too.
