I think the phosphate comes from the fish pellets. I only feed them a pinch though.
Last night Phosphate reading was 0.06 ppm. Is this high?
If I run reactor with phosbound, will it not just strip phosphate? Is it okay to have 0 phosphate in reef tank?

You will get different answers and opinions on this. What corals are you trying to keep? What are you trying to accomplish? I have a mixed tank and am not aiming for a low nutrient system. I keep my phosphates between 0.02 and 0.08. Most of the time, it is at 0.04. But accuracy of the test kit I use is + or - 0.02.
