phosphate levels

[caligal]

had a large long tentacle plate coral die overnight...removal was messy and contaminated the tank
iv done recomended water changes 4 times and added the bottled beneficial bacteria (recomended by lfs)
phosphate currently reads about 2.0 maybe a little less, all other levels are stable (ph, nitrate, ammonia, salinity, etc.)
tank is 65 gallons, 40 lbs live rock, 15 gallon sump w/ skimmer

how do i lower phosphate????? do i need to add more bacteria? suggestions please, im at a total loss and its hard to drive to the lfs whenever i have any questions (iv already spent enough $ in gas traveling to get water for my previous water changes)

the fastest would be keep doing WC
you can add up a really good carbon and gfo, but i prefer carbon would help you clean the water.
cuz phos at 2.0 is pretty high acutally.
