10% water change every other day for a week straight

I was told water changes don’t do anything to phosphate

This is correct, phosphates are seeping out of your rocks. Run phosguard, only thing that has been helping me and my phosphates are still high .18 isn’t too bad if you have a good amount of coral

So should I just keep an eye on it if .18 isn’t too bad

.18 is just fine unless you’re combatting algae . I’ve been running my tank around .1-.2 for a while and the colors of the corals are improved

Yeah my corals are fine not to bad algae just the normal new tank syndrome

Feed less, feed different food (from pellet/sinking wafer to lighter frozen or flake food), or do more frequent or bigger water changes, hope this helps
