Acro tips getting darker--is it burnt tips

[ssdawood]

Ten days ago carelessly I did raise half dkh in a couple of hours. Also this piece was in direct flow like three inches next to WP25 on half power.

Is this burnt tips. But the tips are dark purple not brown. I have since changed the flow away from it and alkalinity is stable at 8.17. No carbon dosing.




Parameters
Salinity 1.26
Nitrates 2
Phosphates 0.02-0.04
Alkalinity 8.17
Calcium 430
Magnesium 430


Will it return or should I chop the tips.

burned tips usually turn white. Is this a darker shade of purple/blue or is it browning?

Looks like a darker shade of purple for now. But it could be on its way browning. I have a feeling its dying.

Browning does not mean it's dying. It could be poor lighting or higher nutrients.
