Silicate removal

[Reef Pilot]

Has anyone done any silicate testing in the lower mainland, esp Langley? What is a good and bad level? I have been battling algae for some time now, and my P04 is pretty low right now, but the algae still isn't totally beat.

I have a DI unit connected to my RO unit (its one of the aquasafe ones), but I've been told that the membrane only removes silicates for a short period of time then doesn't work as well against silicates, but works fine against everything else. The unit has only been running for about a month.
