Can a tank be too clean?

Ok, so here's my problem if you want to call it that. About 3 months ago I decided to try a 3g a day water change on my 400g system. Around 8 weeks the SPS started to grow and color up nicely. Over the last 2 weeks or so my ORA Tri-color has went from Cream/Purple/ with green polyps to a REALLY light cream color, not bleach white but no purple and no green polyps. It started out Brown/Purple with green polyps.
My tests are showing 0's across the board, 450 ca and 9 DKH. Can it be that I've gotten the water too clean. I've lost some zoa's (which I expected) and my GSP isn't taking over anymore (good thing)
I'd take pics but the color on the pics and what I'm seeing are way off. My Red Planet is growing at a outstanding rate, much more than ever before, the ORA Pearlberry is looking like the ones pictured on ORA's site. All the other SPS (no names) are coloring up fine. Polyps are extended at night like normal.
I'm a little lost,
