Seachem Flourite and phosphate levels?

As far as I know, Flourite will not leach phosphates.

Do note that while unbalanced nutrient levels can cause algae, phosphates (alone) cannot. In fact, we actively dose phosphates into high light aquariums (amongst other fertilizers).

But having 10+ppm is to hi isn't it ?

BTW seachem neutral regulator does not cycle a tank on its own.

I know but you need something to adjust the waters to the right parameters

Not unless you have a major problem. What are your water's natural parameters?

Ph up around 7.5 to 8 and really really soft water

Soft water is actually ideal for plants & nutrient uptake, the softer the better. PH is really irrelevant to the plants. The only parameters that really matter to plants are nitrates, phosphates, potassium and micro nutrients like; iron, calcium, magnesium etc (in very minimal quantities). Focus more on co2, lighting & fertilizer and your plants will thrive, regardless of what the pH is (anywhere from 5.5 to 8 is fine).
