Its amazing at the amount of "pale" colors threads I see now since the increase in popularity of ULNS. Unfortunately, I too bought into the new methodology and have also been impacted by pale colors and slow growth. I run the full ZEO system. It wasn't until I started feeding on a daily basis, lowered my amount of PAR, Lowered my daylight to 6 hours, and increased my water changes did I see improvement. I sincerely hope that this article helps the OP. Here are some pics of my very pale colors. Hopefully these pics make the OP feel a little better about their corals. I just implemented some changes recommended by G. Alexander on the ZEO Forum. Its been a whole two weeks now since making the changes.

Warmest Regards,
James
