hmm... have the water tested by someone else, just to compare???... those numbers seem good to me... though I wonder if you could benefit from a higher alk reading(closer to 9dkh) till it balances?

0.1 p04 is kinda high, i think. 0.01 is high for my corals, .005 and below would be great.

.1 is high for sps, but I didn't think it would be high enough to bleach em... mine was higher and only turned em brown
