Acro white tips...

Bladez193 · 12/21/2011, 06:00 PM

Hello,
I am new to this site, but i have had a tank for over 3 years now anyways,
I have yello acro, and the tips of it are turning white, ive had this problem before and i read some where that that could be alk damage so i did an alk test and it is normal, (light blueish green water in the test kit) and now with the alk being okay i have no idea what the issue would be i can get pictures if you guys would like.
Thanks for the help,
Brandon

here ya go, i thing you can see it best under the blue lights

I would get a more sensitive test for your water parameters, instead of dip strips. Assuming the alk is truly normal, white tips (it's still hard for me to absolutely tell with your lighting/pix) could indicate coral growth.

Hard to tell, but it looks like new growth to me, which isn't a problem.
