I may have read it too quickly. I don't think phosphate is in a bad place. You could raise nitrate, but are your corals looking bad? If not having any negative effect I wouldn't worry too much about it.
 
Pretty common in my experience for PO4 to be elevated relative to NO3. If you have a fuge you can increase light cycle to help bring down PO4 and if that doesn't work or isn't an option running GFO will get you in range.
