.0275 ppm of phosphate is enough. This is not your problem. 2.5 nitrates is also not your problem. Once you have enough, then you have enough. If you are using GFO or organic carbon, then I would cut back since you do not want the P to get any lower.
Look for more maturity or lighting as your issues... get a couple of T5s... nearly nobody regrets this and they can make a huge difference.
