Not quite where i want it

Ive been using ecobak pellets now since last June and they have helped reduce my nitrates from 40 to about 15 ppm. There not going any lower but my phosphates will increase dramatically when i feed oyster eggs or reef roids (very little). When using the bio pellets the amount used has risen slowly to over what the instructions tell me. I hear when using these pellets your able to feed more which is not my case. Even though they have dropped my nitates a good amount now im wondering if replacing them with cheato in my reactor would help more with both nitrates and phosphates. Or perhaps just keep increasing the bio pellets????

add more pellets?
NoPox, vodka, vinegar, these are more managable IMO
