Admiraltian Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I have this thin tabling acro covered in dirt like sticky particles. Everytime I turkey blasted it away, there will be some residuals still remained on the tips areas which is also hard to totally brush away. After a day it will grow or accumulate the same amount of dirt back in the same tips area the next day. Any bros or sis has any remedy for this problem? Pic of the problematic acro as reference.

acs Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 KH issues. Adjust it to norm and it should be fine . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member hansolo Posted December 17, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted December 17, 2015 Is this kh too high or too low? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member sgtayc Posted December 17, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted December 17, 2015 I also have this problem. Looks like those branches are dying and being attack by algae. Sometimes brown stuff with small bubble right? Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member JMW Posted December 17, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted December 17, 2015 My valida is having this too, trying to snip off the edges which have algae to make it grow out! not too sure if it is tips burn typically caused by high KH?

Admiraltian Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 The brown stains are gone & my affected sps r slowly recovering & gaining bk it's colors after water has stabilized. So I concluded it probably due to some parameters or elements out of range. My mg kinda low and I might hv overdose on stuff like amino acids and traces.

patricklhc Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 This is what some call "burn tip" usually causes by kh swing or change of LED light setting to stronger or if u have move your corals from lower light area to high light area Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
