Not getting my Phosphate led than.23

[Ballyhoo]

and I worry about my HG torch. Everything else does great but I see the white meat band is not as thick as on the other torch coral and it's an expensive beautiful torch. I'm just not sure if maybe it's not thriving because the phosphate is at .23 but really no matter what I do I can't get phos less than that. It's just always stay at .23.
so the white meat bounds on HG just they don't have a lot of margin compared to for example my Malaysian torch, which is proliferating. N03 @ 10. Kh @9 Ca @470

The thinner flesh band is usually due to the torch being a wild collected specimen. If a torch has been in a system for a while and/or aquacultured, they have a larger flesh band. Your HG will grow a larger flesh band as it grows, give it time.
Your phosphate being where it is, is not hurting the torches.
