Burnt tips is almost always alkalinity fluctuation.

Going aggressive with GFO is almost certainly to blame. GFO can have a temporary affect on Alkalinity where it lowers it. There is actually a pretty current thread in the SPS forum of ReefCentral right now that discusses it.

That drop of usually almost 2 dKh, negatively affects SPS. It is recommended to slowly increase the amount of GFO due to the fact that it can strip water so fast of nutrients, which has a negative impact on your corals.
