I know there's probably a million post on here about this. I go and read but everyone's tank is different. My parameters are posted. Also I'm working on bringing phosphates down. It's not a big issue but i don't want a big issue with the algae. What should I dose or do. Doing weekly water changes and feeding a every other day now. All Frozen and only feed ab+ once a week right before a water change.

Oof, that phosphate level!
Stop dosing AB+, it's full of phsophates. Frozen food is also full oh phosphates. You can help reduce them by rinsing the frozen food in RODI water.
How old is this tank? What's it stocked with?

Phosphates we're at almost 1 about a month back I've brought them down so much my corals have no issues it's mostly the algae I'm coming on to now. Tanks about 4 months old. Stocked with about 10 snails for cuc, a flame hawkfish, 2 clowns, a Mandarin and a yellow watchman and goby. A bunch of LPS and about 4 softies. 35 gallon dt and 10 gallon sump
 
Algae uses nitrate and phosphate as food. You're feeding the algae with such high phosphates, so it's not just about your coral health.

I made another post already tryna figure out a game plan for the issue I'm looking into a hob refugium or algae reactor as we speak
