So everything in my tank is happy. Did a water change yesterday cause I noticed I have high phosphate and high nitrate. Should I be concerned if everything is doing fine

If things are looking good then I probably wouldn’t change anything right now. Do you have a refugium? Chaeto would certainly help. Or more frequent water changes or less feeding.

good call on water change!

Do another phosphate test most of the reagants are faulty I get readings sometimes of 0.45 & I do another one and get 0.02, btw that's were I tend to keep my phosphates at or 0.03. if your second test comes out around the same then that's your actual reading

Your comment everything looks good. Well everything looks good until it doesn’t.
