If you want to make a dent in your phosphates try running GFO (Granulated Ferric Oxide) in a phosban reactor like the Two Little Fishes reactor. I myself have been running a Rox brand GFO for quite some time now.
I'm told that purple coraline is an indication of a healthy tank as mentioned at the end of the link, I also really like it in my tanks. I use Rowa-phos GFO in a Two Little Fishies reactor and my levels are at 0 most of the time. Interesting read thanks for the link Cale262.

Ok, made the drive to J & L today and picked up a Phosban reactor.

After just a little over a day with running the phosban reactor my levels have been cut in half and read 1.

Thanks for the tip.

I would unplug the reactor for a bit, I think you used a bit too much media. If you yank the phosphate out too fast you can shock the system and actually cause coral death.
