Thanks. How long have you had it? What are your nitrates and phosphates?

Longer then a year. Nitrates are less then 1, and phosphates usually hang around .02-.08. Tank is 250g with a big skimmer and a refugium. Started dosing potassium nitrate, it's helped a lot, but some acros are just pale. DM is one of the corals that just won't color up.

You can try target feeding your corals with a small particle food like reef roids. Potassium Nitrate is good, the potassium helps with red color as well. If you haven't done so, consider a Triton test which can point you in the right direction. Also, running the skimmer on a timer can help boost nutrients as well.
