Does silicate goes down on its own? I was dosing for dinos, and im done with dino treatment. I have a high level of silicate. Do i let it fall down naturally?

Yes, as it is consumed by organisms in your tank as long as you aren't adding it back in it will eventually disappear.

if you know that dosing is how it got that high (as opposed to incoming water source), then there's nothing wrong with just letting it come down due to organism uptake and normal water changes.
