Dosing nitraphos and nitrates have gone up.

I have been dosing nitraphos and noticed my phosophates went low, so I have been dosing Seachem flourish phosophate with it. I have ensured my phosophate has been above 0.08 for the last week, but my nitrates have gone thru the roof in that time. I don't understand it. Any thoughts people?

What was your NO3 before nitraphos and after using it? Where it sits now?

It was at 25, gone up to about 40 from what I can tell. Been googling and see another person reporting the same thing on reef central. It seems to be killing my phosophate, as I have to keep dosing it, but nitrate rising rapidly. Not what I want.
