Tell us a lot more about your tank. It is very new and a phos at .3 is high, not low. Typically you want your phos at 0.03 to 0.05. What are you using to check it? What is your ph/salinity/nitrates/nitrites/ammonia/calcium/magnesium? How often are your doing water changes? Do you use rodi water? What lives in the tank? How often/how much are you feeding? What food? Do you run uv, carbon, a refugium, protein skimmer etc? Any one of these things or (usually) more factors are combined to mess up your tank. Let us know more info and we can help more = ).
