Ok the problem im having is that my corals have stated to fade. They are growing well but colors are real faded. All this started hapeening after I took out all my fish due to a ich outbreak. What can I do to get them to color up again?

Sounds like lack of food along with your water clarity might be better. I'm assuming with no fish you are not feeding the tank.

Nope no feedings.

Without knowing more, I think the poster who suggested that without fish, and the resultant fish poo, your corals arent getting enough nutrients and are fading as a result.

I agree,
Sounds like a lack of nutrients, no fish=no pooh=little nutrients=starving corals.
Supplement with coral foods like oyster eggs, rotifers, etc...
I would also cut the photo period during the fishes quarenteen...
