Would that kill my coral?

Is 0.22 phosphate kill coral? My tank 2 months old. And i have 2 clowns phosphate has been high. My nitrate is 14. Phosphate last water change was 0.20 from 0.28. Im worried. Would it kill fish or corals this high?

I would rather ask a question if your tank is ready for corals and if so what type.
Before introducing corals, I would strive to achieve stability and yes as far as phosphates are regarded, I would prefer stability at lower level. Also, water changes are rather ineffective in lowering phosphates on longer run and 2 months old tank is generally regarded as not mature enough for stony corals. Mushrooms might work also maybe zoas, but even that is debatable.

It will absolutely not kill your coral. I personally wouldn't even call it high.

The good thing nobody asked.

.2 of phosphate is slightly high but not really, it shouldn't bother most corals, certainly won't bother fish.

Kind of depends on the system your new coral will be coming from. Sometimes new, small frags have a hard time handling a large increase of anything, including phosphates coming from one system to another. The number by itself, in an established system, is not high (although higher than I would keep lol).

@Hatedfish If you click on my aquarium showcase that tank tested yesterday has nitrates 16 and phosphate at 0.55 So no, phosphate at your levels will not harm fish or coral.
