I just invested in a test kit for SiO2 thinking I had a problem with silicates leaking from my sand or something else in my tank. However I tested my tap water and it's off the scale, SiO2 mg/l (ppm) is 6.0+
I know, test kits are inaccurate at best but such a high reading isn't easily misinterpreted.
Would this high amount be my problem with continuous brown diatoms in a mature tank?
How do I solve it, is there anything that can remove Silicate from water?
