im not a fan of using chemicals... need to do water changes with DI/RO water, not tap, because that is sometimes where they come from, and yea feed a little less

Run some GFO.

Use RODI water, install a refugium, run GFO, Don't feed foods that are high in phosphate.

I'm sorry, what is GFO. That is a new one for me.
This isn't my thread, but what happens when you are doing the water changes, use only RODI water, and the phosphates still don't come down?

Then it is a different issue...could be the type of foods being fed or the wmount of food being fed...stay away from flake and pellets too...rinse the frozen before feeding...
