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

Man alive, how are you people able to discern numbers in that horrible joke of a potassium test kit?? Maybe I have a dud? Mine is an absolute piece of ****. The instructions say "take the number that the colour strip is barely visible through the sample" well mine is absolute white non-transparent completely unable to see through it whatso-friggin-ever. What are the odds that an undosed tank has >400 potassium?? Not likely!!
Sorry for the rant but I would give my eyeteeth to figure out HOW on earth are people able to discern something like 200 using that test kit ...

well if your liquid is totally transparent then you have extremely low potassium. the numbering system they have is fague but 380 should have a hint of pink/orange to the liquid according to the chart. are you using the zeo or whatever make it is test kit
