So my DT is about 19 months old and it’s absolutely packed with acros even though I consider it a mixed reef. Anyways everything has been growing unbelievable and great color past year until this past month I’ve noticed I’m getting burnt tips even though the growth hasn’t changed. My alk has always been stable at 7.7 and n03 always between 5-10ppm and p04 from .02-.05. I have no refugium, no carbon dosing, no ats, no gfo and no GAC carbon and I only run my skimmer for a few hours every couple of days because I’m always scared of starving my corals. Basically my question is what could be limiting zoox growth besides nutrients? I dose acro power maybe once or twice a week and feed my fish frozen In the morning, nori in the afternoon and pellets and flakes in the evening. Is it that my tank has gotten so grown out and mature my bio load can’t keep up with the zoox growth? Everything has been rock solid stable and I can’t figure out why I’m gettin burnt tips. Got an icp done few weeks ago and nothing stood out to me at all.
