What is it's consistency? Is it slimy?
The pic of your OF box almost looks like a sponge of some kind.

Are you dosing any bacteria or carbon source?

cut back on the rods food, after about four months, I had a slimy whitish green in overflow and sump, I added some carbon bags in the sump, and cut the food back to every other day or so, knocked two hours off my lighting, it cleared up in about two weeks. just my 2 cents
Still feed every day, maybe just some pellets on the days you don't feed Rod's. Rod's is a great food, but unless you have a ton of fish that eat 90% of what you put in the tank much of it becomes waste.
Then how do you know they're high? The only reason I asked about testing methods was in your original post you mentioned high silicates...
