Tank looks relatively new from the dry rock in the photos.

How old is the tank? Water parameters? Lighting Schedule? Have a CUC?

Best thing is manual removal right now. Could be part of the stages of starting up a tank with the lights on.
 
It’s been up for 6 months, I have a ton of snails different types and hermit crabs the parameters I haven’t taken in a while and I wouldn’t give you the most recent because it’s been a month or longer, my light schedule is 8 hours long, I do biweekly waterchange, I have my own rodi unit where I get my water from, could the canisters need to be changed in that unit?, for now I’ll manually remove it
 
I would get a tds meter, but usually you can tell when they need to be changed by color change in the canister. Tank is still pretty new. I'd keep up with water changes(maybe smaller weekly changes) and manual removal. Definitely increase your testing for a while. Once the tank matures you can back off if you want, but still early now.
