Oh ok. Yeah phosphates that high is an issue and one you will need to focus your attention on. The high phosphates will basically not allow the corals to get the nutrition they need. Basically choking them out. I think brs has a nice video explaining this. Your clove polyps will experience it first

As I was saying. High nitrates are loved by LPS and softies. It's the algae that may come with the high number that you don't want.

The reefer above is right that you need to focus some on your phosphates. Once you find a nice balance for both, I think your tank will be much healthier
Some people run their tank with high nitrates with no issues, but phosphates not so much
