Loosing color

[Chinook]

I just recently switched from a 75 with 4x54 watt t5, my orange monti cap was doing great nice orange color, the acros didn't grow the fastest but most of them kept ok color. I move everything into my 120 gallon wich has 8x54watt fixture and my orange cap is turning a light pink, I just purchase a bright pink birdsnest and it's starting to lighten up alot aswell, same with my other 2 red acros, also my some of my greens aren't as vibrant. But my blues are good, as well as my purple and yellow is starting to come out in a couple I just purchased a bit ago.
Parameters
Salinity
1.026
CA 375
Kh 8.4
P04 0
NO3 0 .1
Mag 1300
K is 330 not sure if test kit is reliable with cross check with another kit soon
Might the color loss be from more light over them or starving?
I feed the fish twice a day(mysis,pellet food) every second day I put 1/2 cube DIY frozen food mix, every other night 3/4 tablespoon of Reef frenzy.

Also this is a new tank 3 months old, went through the Dino , cyano stage now have a bit of hair algea but it isn't growing much but the fact that I have it would meen my system isn't nutrient deficient correct?But my red planet is also turning more a pink color and under my other 4x54 was a more red.

This^^^

With your no3 at .1 and your po4 at 0 that's a bad combination to starve out and eventually kill your corals...

Unfortunately I learned this lesson to late, try to keep your nitrates around 2-5ppm and phosphates round .02-.08

Sounds like your water is TOO clean, what are you testing no3 and po4 with?

Salifert kits

It's a new tank. It's not stable yet.
Turn the lights down a bit and feed.
Algae will grow with no detectable nutrients
Scrub and kill the alge now while it's weak btw. Blackout a couple days whatever. Kill it.
Then start feeding the corals IMO.

I'm viniger dosing currently aswell I'm gonna stop it all together for a bit .

Dosing about 20 ml a day currently not to much wanted to keep my nitrates down but this is to down.

Stop the vodka dosing, maintain proper par levels and stable parameters

Yup no more dosing , I have a ati 200 skimmer with a BB 5000 on it, thing is a beast way better than my Omega 150 I'm sure I can do without the dosing plus I got around 70 lbs of rock and 2L of matrix in a reactor.
