Stop testing, use GFO and the PO4 will go away

I say give the tank more time to mature, you might even turn off the light to avoid algae bloom in the main display tank. Use GFO and Carbon, get yourself better test kits, ie. salifert. But your main thing right now is give the tank time to go through the nitrogen cycle. Also is your main display tank covered? You shouldn't keep it covered, the tank needs an open top for gas exchange.
