Advice on Parameters

Advice on parameters for 4 month old reef tank...

Alk - 9.1

Phosphate - .80

Nitrates - 0

Nitrites - 0

Ammonia - 0

Calcium -.500+

Salinity - 1.025

Temp - 77

Ph - 7.8

Mg - N/A (no test yet)

What would you suggest I adjust and how?

Note: I have a fireplace where the tank is so maybe that affects CO2?

I also have corals that are very slow growing...

Thanks!

What brand of test kit are you using? The phosphate level is very high, and is the only red flag that jumps out at me.

Do you have a skimmer?

Tank pics are always helpful to get some helpful tips from folks, there could be several different reasons why corals grow slow.
