I also posted my CYA was between 40 and 50, but it's not above 50. Seeing the "black dot" disappear is certainly subjective, but my eyes aren't THAT bad. Not sure what any of that has to do with my original post, but wanted to respond. Thanks for the help.
As BigDave said, when someone starts talking phosphate levels, we assume they were talked into it by a pool store. Why? Because other than discussions amongst the support team, you are, I believe, the FIRST person to mention them WITHOUT being pushed into it by a pool store! Leslie's has a whole phosphate reduction package plan, selling regular doses of reducer--and it is (or was) a big money maker for them.

We are just trying to help and when we see apparent anomalies, we question the test results that lead to them. That's all.
