I also near starved my fish trying to keep nutrients low.

This time around, I decided I should be fair to the fish and keep them really fat. I feed twice a day and as a side benefit, I have more colorful corals than I've ever had in 10 years.

I do use zeo (reactor and supps) but I often forget to dose and shake for a month or more, and the colors don't change.
Thanks, something to think about. Maybe try that out, and see what happens.
