Just added this baddie about a month ago and I started to notice the very tip turning whiteish color
Running 7-10 nitrate and 0 phosphate salinity 35ppt ph 7.9-8.3 all 8-9 cal 400. -450 mag 1440 i die 2.5 gal auto water change a day. Three xr30 and two reef brite strips? Running at about 40% 9 hours 3 mp40 max spec gyres and one Mp60 ! So now that you know my most intimate details, anyone give me any ideas? Maybe I should lower it in the water column away from the light at the same time I have a Digi it’s way closer that is doing better.

not sure the par I ordered a meter to do the return to brs it is ons its way!!
if that's algae growing on that back rock you need to take a toothbrush and free up ur phosphate adding more food or phosphate remover will only make the problem worse- starving corals or dinos. white on sps tips generally means growth
