What would you consider to be good parameters to have good growth and good colors?

Right now I have significant coral growth but my corals are not as bright as I would like them to be. I know my nitrates are high (over 10) and just started up a bio pellet reactor and changed to a bag filter in my sump to bring the nitrates down. I only feed my tank twice a week but nitrates are still high. I do a 10% water change weekly.

I want good coral growth and bright colors, Can you get best of both worlds?
