Is this new growth or is there a problem

That branch at the 5 o’clock position doesn’t look good. Looks like tissue loss to me, from your earlier pics.

So I double checked the par of the light and I was about 250 in that area so not too sure if it could be the lights, as for nitrates, I am still trying to control my algae so not too sure if dosing to increase nitrates would really give me the results I am looking for. My only thought is it was getting pretty blasted by the powerhead which i have moved it over now, but would I really see tissue loss from the powerhead alone?

Depends on how much flow it was getting and how close it was but acros can definitely get stress from too much direct flow.

It was probably 6-8 inches away, not exactly direct flow but pretty close to it, powerhead is an mp10 that was set to run a varying intensity with the highest being 80%.

That could do it. I believe massive flow is overrated, especially in smaller tanks. My tank is small which causes a lot of extra flow bouncing off the front glass. My mp 40’s gyre at 20% for 7 seconds.

I think this messing up my my my Acro's.

Too much flow is messing up your acros?

I think so. I’ve noticed the ones in direct line have issues. The ones away and protected some seem to be better. Trying to figure out getting flow for keeping the tank clean and no too much direct. At least I believe that is what is going on.
