I would have to agree with high alk in ZEO system, I lost about 450$ worth of SPS when i was running ZEO.
However someone already mentioned Copper? LFS will test for free. Even if you never treated with copper it could have come from old life rock if you got it "used". Or a penny could have been dropped exidentally in to your sump and or tank (Kids?) Small wire cut dropped in? Copper screw? At any rate i would test for copper just to be sure. If you still using ZEO get you alk down to recommended lewels.

Well it would seem my ka wasnt testing out properlly,the whole time i'd been running around 5ish. I jacked up alk in one day to 8...result my remaining 2 corals have healed over the skellies, and my latest test batch is holding strong,wish me luck lol. I dont run the zeo system by the way,I started dosing coral snow and sponge power in a previous attempt and was very pleased with it,but thats all I use. Mine is an algae driven system,along with my overcapacity skimmer and dual phosbans it seems to keep the nasties around zero. You can check out the survivors and my latest test batch in my album on here if you like.

Over what kind of timeframe did they heal over?? It seems really fast?

It was real fast,my pocci had approx 1/2inch of skelly showing at tips and base with a huge dose of sponge power approx 10drops for my total of 100g,it was healed in about 2 days the color is still a little light but the skin has healed over and polyps are out in the damaged areas. At the same time i dosed sponge power I also jacked my alk. I've used sponge power in the past for sick corals results were within a week there was noticable regeneration ,though I did lose those in an unrelated system crash (snail in overflow)
I've been dosing sponge power and coral snow the whole time,I just jacked up the dosage when the die off started,and dropped it when they began to heal. You can see pics of how my 2 survivors look now in my album

I saw THOSE.
 I just meant I went looking for your album as well but couldn't find it. Neither in the photo gallery nor in the photo forum so I thought I'd just ask where it is.
