Sadly there’s no one in my area that reefs , stores are scarce , I just can’t believe they really are that high and the corals are doing amazing I don’t know what to say to be honest and part of me wonders if I start Gfo or this bacteria product I’ll regret it but I know .30 po4 is not okay what about gfo in a bag ? Not a reactor ?

My tank is running .2-.3 P04 and grows acros just fine.
Every time I've ever tried GFO, my acros hated it. Had much better success with LaCl.
If things are growing as good as you say, I'd just leave it be. If your tank wants to run at .3, then, it wants to run at .3. As long as it's stable and not rising, I wouldn't mess with it.

I gave up on the nano , it beat me , I gave it a good run for 6-7 months , I have a hard time controlling feeding my animals and I want to make sure they always aren’t hungry , I did find the issue with the high po4 , it was the sand , on my birthday me and the woman took a 45 min drive to area where there is a saltwater fish store, there was a 25 gallon complete Red Sea nano tank stand and sump setup brand new with inches of dust on it .heavily discounted (500 off ) I asked the owner is there a issue with this and he laughed and said rich people don’t like small tanks , it was my birthday and I had my tax return money freshly burning a hole in my wallet , I bought it , dug out the rest of my equipment my skimmer , return pump and swapped over the tank on a Saturday, it’s been running now for a month . The tank is doing amazing I will upload some photos tonight , im not saying nano tanks in general aren’t possible , but I just couldn’t control the po4 .
