Fish are dull.

[CTMarinelife]

All my fish have faded colors, I feed a variety of shrimps and formula cubes/nori colors/spirulina flakes, dose with garlic and selcon.
For lighting I run vho deep blues, 20k 400 watt halides. Water is clear but salinity is kept low at .018 - any ideas or suggestions?

Their diet sounds pretty good...i wonder if it has something to do with the salinity...why do you run the salinity so low? for the fish's health? I assume no corals as well.

What are your stock list??? And why do you keep the salinity so low? I am not saying you are wrong, but natural seawater is 1.026, this may have somehting to do with the colors but need stock list.
