Out Of Idea's...NEED HELP

I HAVE 2 ISSUES;

1st-
I have been trying to figure out why all of a sudden my thriving Gonipora coral has over about 3 weeks slowly started to not come out and slowly die. I have tried dipping in coral RX and also Bayer complete insect killer per directions on bulkreefsupply.com. NOTHING, still dying off. It is a beautiful coral and i would love try to save it. ANY IDEAS on what else can be done??

2nd-
I have a Duncan coral and started with one head and quickly grew to 2 heads. Now, for about a week or so, it has not opened at all. I have tried feeding it and turned the lights down very slightly since it is the center of the tank about 3/4 way down (24" height of tank) ANY IDEAS on what else can try?

Tank is a 70G reef with multiple soft corals and LPS.
fish: clowns and a White Cheek tang
Parimeters;
PH- 8.22
DKH- 9
CAL- 500ppm
nitrate- 0
nitrite- 0
temp: 79

the only thing i changed is about a month ago i started mixing 1 table spoon of Kalkwasser into about a gallon of water, let settle and i run the solution through my dosing pump. 20ml in the morning, 20ml in the afternoon, and 20ml at night. COULD THIS BE AN ISSUE??
 
Goniporas are know to do this for no apparent reason but seeing how the duncan is also affected something is off...

Duncan's are a pretty tough coral and if its closing up there is something decently wrong. I would stop the Kalk dosing and just use your 2 part to keep alk stable and observe for a week.
