Small back story, I have a Red Sea reefer 250 lit by a reef breeder photon 32 v2+.
Deltec 600ix skimmer
Gfo/gac as needed
Refugium 12hr on reverse.
Dosing :
Brs 2-part
Tropic Marin part c
Acropower.

The tank is about 14 months old and it has never looked better. My sps pops with color and is growing/encrusting consistently. Polyp extension is fantastic. My coralline algae growth is awesome. I have barely if any bad algae and my current parameters are:
Sg - 1.026 - Hanna pen (calibrated)
Temp 77.5 - 78
Alk - 7.9 - salifert
Cal - 480 - salifert
Mag - 1460 - Nyos
N03 - 6ppm - Nyos
P04 - .12 - Nyos (tested 2 times)

Isn’t p04 that high supposed to be “omg lower it asap!!!!” ? Lol I don’t chase numbers and I make adjustments slow, my alk has been locked in at 7.8 - 8.2 for months. I don’t plan on changing anything just makes me scratch my head at the numbers.

That phosphate level is ok. Especially if your nitrate is 6. If everything looks good then as you say, don't change anything suddenly. :)
