I am trying to figure out where my silicates are coming from. I have Marine Pure bio balls in sump for a few years now and just found this about them.

Just saw you stated you add to the ATO. I used to drip in that but realized the DT doesn't get anything until ATO kicks in and that will cause it flucuate. I drip into the return chamber.
