Phosphate spike as clean up crew disappears.

[Reefman71]

I added live aquaria’s jumbo 90 gallon clean up crew about a month ago. 150 snails, 150 small crabs. At one point I had literally my front glass covered with snail. I’ve got lots of corals no fish. Fish are and have been in QT. My phosphate has been through the roof! .30 at one point. Anyone else think that the snails and crabs dying off is causing the problem? I’ve ruled just about everything else out
