I have a 75G tank with phosphates at .25ppm and nitrates at 3-5 ppm. Other than some cyano, no is so and corals seem ok. Other than one monti, no sps, just softies and LPS. No fish but one shrimp.

Not sure if I should add a phosphate remover or not. No space for a GFO. I stopped feeding the corals a few days ago so as to not add to problem.

Should I wait to see if phosphates drop or add a remover? Corals are ok on outside but not sure what is happening internally.
 
I would just wait it out and stop feeding your tank. Imo Phosphates doesn’t do much harm to softies and lps
Besides making the not as colorful. I would wait it out

If you want to buy Phosphates remover in a bag and put it in high flow area in sump can’t hurt

I would slow down on some feeding and do a water change.
