Any swing in alkalinity recetly? on the pic the coral look like it has some burnt tips?

hard to see on that photo though. What is wrong with the coral? is it only the tips or the base or something else?

Since the water went cloudy after the water change and you say there seems to be sand all over the corals I would suspect that there was an imbalance in the Alk/Ca and some precipitation happened.

Other possible causes of cloudy water are bacterial blooms and spawning events.

Recommended course of action would be water changes and test your Alk.

Thought i'd chime in.
Why dont you stop dosing everything? All that stuff is'nt necessary. I've tried most of it and found that it's all a waste of money. Just concentrate on your water parameters and a good maintenance program.

This is my favorite advice for pretty much every problem. But nobody likes this advice -lol
