Dosage should be based on Water volume less sand and rock

You kH is too high. Anything beyond 7-8 and you will get burnt tips and unhappy coral.

Is it just me or is 7-8 kh lower than most of us keep are tanks? I have talked to very successful reefers that aim for 8-10 I even had someone tell me they tried to keep their reef at 10-11 kh. If this apearently low kh is a requirement I wish it was stated on some of the literature I read. Or on any of the bottles for that matter. I have only had the powder blue stag rtn from the tip every thing else seems ok.
Just my 2 cents worth.

Page 27 section 10 of the Zeo guide outline in black and white what perameter that are required. Actual NSW has a DKH of about 7.

so i restarted the zeo gong show tonight. i have 1.5l of the zeolite in the reactor, 10ml zeofood7,10ml zeobac and 1ml of the zeostart tonight. my potassium is down to about 200 so i started dosing k balance strong to bring it up a bit. i tested tonight and my alk is still 9kh ca is 400 and mg is 1260. i have pretty much lost one colony since starting this and 2 others have some branches stripped out. so we'll see where this gets me
