I did raise my light from 10 percent to 25 percent this morning before I left. got the only the blues on now.
 
if your phosphate is 2ppm ether there is a testing error, bad test kit, or thats is your issue.

I got the new water mixing right now. Plus I noticed the last 48 hours ph used to be as high as 8.2 and dropped to 7.8 to 8 ppm in the last 48 hours. Going to hookup a cheato rector tonight after work. If anything that should help raise the ph plus surface irration.
