Yea i've been trying to raise PO4 and nitrate the last few months with heavier feeding and less water changes and protein skimming.I am a little puzzled that you always had very low undetectable PO4, and now suddenly you have .06.
How recent is that measure and maybe you should test again?
It was 0.00 to 0.02 at most with a hanna checker for months. Within two weeks it went from 0.00 to 0.06 when I really started noticing this algae/dino? I first thought dinos because i'm used to seeing 0.00 and undetectable nitrates, but I tested and saw phosphates which made me think algae? I only have a few packets of the hannah checker po4 kits so i'm saving till after I make a decision on what to do. Water change or ride it out?
