My skimmer does not pull much unless I add coral snow. I only have three fish so I don't expect it to pull much
I don't know a lot about phosphate. I know there is organic and inorganic.
Are inorganic phosphate able to be removed by bacteria or macro?

Good question, I don't know if it would. If I had to guess I'd say yes it would but I'm only basing that on algae blooms found around river deltas due to farm water run-off.

I'd use a pouch of GFO or Phosban and change it out every five or six days for a few weeks. That should set things right.
