Firstly, I am not facing any issues with browning in my tank at the moment as I am just curious.
Now if burnt tips is caused the lack of production from zooxanthellae paired with excessive skeleton growth. And if browning is due to overproduction of zooxanthellae (I'm guessing that there would be little skeleton growth RELATIVE to zooxanthellae production). Would a possible solution in a high nutrient low alk tank be to raise the alkalinity so the growth of the skeleton compliments the growth of zooxanthellae?
Again I could be wrong in my understanding of this but I'm just curious as to what people have to say. Thanks!
