What are the most common reasons for having high phosphates (0.25ppm according to Salifert) and low (0 according to API) nitrates?
I will say right now that I have very actively growing Chaeto, a separate mangrove refugium with deep mud and the styrofoam sheet keeping the mangrove propagules upright works as an amazing algal scrubber. I also have only 3 fish in my 90 gallon tank. In addition to flake and pellets I also feed a homemade frozen food composed of fish, scallops and nori. I do rinse that well before chopping and freezing. But maybe that is the issue?
