Hello everyone,
I'm in the process of building up my 250 gallon tank, which I plan to have SPS dominant. Currently my nitrates and phosphate levels are very low, and my SPS are pailing. I've read that if the coral are fading, it means there is not enough nutrients in the tank. Is this true?

What type of nutrients do you run in your tank, and how is the growth and color with these parameters?
 
I had the same problem. Either get more fish or start feeding your fish more and you should notice a difference in 2 weeks or so.
