I’ve raised it from zero to about 2.5 in the matter of five days or so. Probably too fast.

Go bonkers in a good way or bad way?This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If it's an established tank phosphate at .06 is fine - keeping it stable it most important. Montipora and birdsnests go bonkers with phosphate .05 - .1
.03 gives you wiggle room for more feeding.
If you have zero or hyper low nitrate remember to raise it *slow*. Acropora in particular don't take kindly to rapid nutrient increase.
I would manually remove all the green stuff and this would be similar to harvesting algae from a refugium.
I’ve got a good fug that runs pretty efficiently. I just set it up a few weeks ago and tripled the chaeto ball size.I would manually remove all the green stuff and this would be similar to harvesting algae from a refugium.
Get a clean up crew like tangs to pick at the green stuff and start thinking about exporting your nutrients.
Refugium will address both nitrates and phos. Don't skimp on lighting.
I use a 75W led for planted tanks and can knock everything to 0 if I'm not careful.

well, good/bad news. I thought nitrate/phosphates were my issue. Probably not. Just found out my refractometer is way off, despite calibrating it a week ago with 1.0264 solution. Salinity is at 1.029. Also, the trident is way off calibration. Alk with salifert is 9.3 when trident says 8.6. I had this double tested at my LFS as well. Doofus mistakes.
