I left my tank for 3 weeks for a vacation and I came back to really bad burnt tips on my miyagi tort. Nothing changed except I didn't refill my alk container before I left so it was bone dry. I usually keep alk around 8 or 8.5 but when I got back the ph was 7.1 on my apex and alk was at 5.7 according to the Hanna meter. I'm thinking that's the issue but am now sure if low alk will cause burnt tips. I dosed it up the 6.5 and will add more over the next few days to get it back up but should I be looking at anything else?
