So it does sort of sort of sound like the consensus here is that even if there were phosphates in the water column, rarely are the test kits able to pick up on it. The difference being either by interference maybe that whole organic vs inorganic phosphate question, who knows.
FWIW I let the sun hit my tank as often as possible (really only possible in the winter though, the rays come in at the wrong angle from a few weeks outside of the equinoxes). The clams in particular, love that!
