Did I kill all my Acros?

I'm new to this, so please bear with me.

I have a lot of Zoas/Palys and mushroom corals, with a handful of LPS. I usually keep my nutrients fairly steady but for some reason, I noticed about 3 days ago, my Phosphate/Nitrate readings were unusually low. I fed a little bit more than normal, hoping to bump them up, but they actually both dropped to zero. I have no issues with algae yet, but my SPS look like crap! They aren't bleached per say, but they look like they're on their way. It seem like overnight the last few days, they lost color pretty quickly.

I read on another post that a lot of people does Nitrates and Phosphates to maintain certain levels, so I ordered both to start implementing tomorrow.

Will Acros recover from the effects of zero nutrients parameters for a few days?

What levels do you measure?

Feeding more is an easy fix until you get it sorted out.

I measure CA, ALK, MG, Nitrates, Phos, Salinity.

Yeah, I was just feeding heavy until the Nitrate and Phosphates come in to dose tomorrow morning-ish. I am just wondering if Acros can recover from something like this. I've never had any

I meant what are the nutrient levels.
