How to Remove Phosphates

I just switch over from fish only to reef its a 220 gallon fish tank and my phosphates are 6.0ppm I'v done 3 water changes with about 75 gallons of water each time removed. I have used Magnavore Pura Phoslock. What else can i do to get it down to 0.00ppm? Please help

Try a Phosban reactor and some Phosban or similar product. Maybe also set up a refuge.
