Alk has been solid at 9.5 dKH. Lowered from 10.2 over a month. Im thinking its from an increase in red/green LED's on the radion's that did it along with a 5% increase on intensity. I could be wrong though.
I just don't want to lose it and the tips are getting algae on them. I don't want to risk moving it and causing more damage. I've lowered the light intensity and Red/Green LED's and will trim the exposed tips off as best I can and hope it recovers.

My SSC is the first one to get burned tips when my alkalinity wanders up. Mine does not like high alkalinity. It will grow over the burned parts though.

I trimmed it all back as best I could and put it in a lower light area to hopefully heal. It's in pretty poor state. I hope it recovers. Thanks for all the input.
