Would my phosphate kill anything?

[endlessrealm]

My tank is 4 months old. I have corals in there. Hammers, frogspawn, mushrooms, leather, duncan, candy cane etc.. i overdosed phosphate dosing and now my phosphate is 0.17. Im going to do a water change. But would that high level kill anything? And would the water change lower it?

Phos isnt crazy high. A wc would lower it, but its most likely not an emergency.

That won't kill or even harm anything, though a quick increase might be mildly stressful.

Yes, a water change will lower the amount of everything that's in the water and isn't replaced.

That’s not high — I’ve been running at 0.27 and nitrate of 19 on a SPS-dominated tank without any issues. I can knock PO4 down with PhosphateRx without doing a WC. However, my tank is happy and acros are growing with high NO3 & PO4. I’ve stopped tinkering with these two params the last 6 months. YMMV
