Tips on some of my SPS seem to be dying. They seem to have a brown algae on the tips. Pulp extension is still throughout. Any thoughts?

alk - 9
Cal - 425
Nitrate - 4
PO4 - .28

Burnt tip is usually high alk. Maybe try getting a different alk test done. Hit up a local reef buddy near you and see if he’ll let you barrow his alk test to see if yours is accurate

That phosphate is also too high for that nitrate ratio. Make sure you are dosing the Alk into a high flow area where it can mix in and not burn stuff
