Hey welcome, though that is high I have maxed out the Hanna checker before with accidental dosing error. Would just up your export a bit until you get to desired level.

Welcome to R2R!!!

Welcome to R2R. Seems high. Lots of knowledgeable and helpful people here who will support and advise you when needed.

 

[Hydrored]

You can slowly reduce it using GFO, a product like phosphate-e. Just do it VERY slow. Your best bet would be to create a new post listing all parameters, full tank shot, and details around your bio load and export methods.

Welcome! A little high.

Anywhere below 0.25 should be good. I try to keep mine at 0.03-0.1.

Your reading is pretty high. I would retest before you make any major changes. Sometimes it can be test error.

WELCOME!!! As other have stated, it's high for a reef tank. Good advice given thus far. Heed it and you will be good to go.
