I do lots of reading and lately I have seen several posts were people are saying you nutrients are too low and you corals are starving. I am just curious as to what people consider low nutrients?
 
It really depends on what species of corals. Sps corals like low nutrient water and lps like slightly higher nutrient levels. The reason most of us keep nutrients low is to prevent nuisance algaes.
 
Most don't feed enough when they have to low of nutrients in the tank.
