My nutrient levels are as follows.

Salinity: 1.026
Calcium: 410
Magnesium: 1260
Ammonia: 0
PH: 8.0
Nitrite: 0.1-0
Nitrate: 0.2
Alkalinity: 11.4
Phosphate: 0

I use Red Sea Coral Pro Salt and I dose Reef Pro A and Reef Pro B. I also use Vibrant Weekly to help with the algae. I'm thinking of getting a UV Sterilizer. Is it bad having my phosphate at zero? I'm using GFO because of a Algae outbreak. It seems like it helped with the outbreak. Should i cut down or remove the GFO at this point?

Alk is a bit high. otherwise good parameters. Keep this chart for reference

Agree with above your Alk is high also would get those phosphates up
 
I would get both nitrate and phosphate up. Alk down. take a look at Red Sea blue bucket, it has lower Alk. You may want to mix a cup of each until coral pro is used up.
