Potasium is required for a low nutirent system like zeovit, or in your case vodka.
Even if this is not the cause of this problem, you should definly test your levels. I did see some test kits at redcoral for a fair price. Basicly if your going to dose you must test, this goes for potasium as much as it does for anything else you add to your reef.

Your DKH is really high for dosing vodka imo try to keep it more around 7 dkh
...maybe try lowering it a bit and see if that helps

The dying rate has been slowed down after i stop dosing vodka. My system is high nutrient that is why i was trying to dosing vodka to bring the level down. I think probably i dosed too fast at once instead let it drip.
HEre is how it dies

Polyp bailout can happen when the coral is really stressed (from the vodka maybe) or when calcification is inhibited due to high phosphate levels or from toxins in the water released by leathers and algae conducting chemical warfare with your stonies. What is your phosphate at? Do you run any carbon? What is your water change schedule like?
