Burnt tips on Acro

Hello,

I think my acro has burnt tips.

When the lights are off the Tulsa look really white and this morning these is algae on the tips, would you say it has burnt tips?

Other that that is fluffy and happy.

Thanks

If there's algae on the tips, then definitely yes....live tissue never has algae

I had that issue a few months back, the cure after i zeroed in my water params (high nitrates) was to carefully trim off the ends with the algae growth & the acros are now regrowing again clean of any algae issues & look like they were never messed with.
