If you have plenty of available N and normal conditions, light, etc then small amounts of P will be gobbled up quickly.
In my tank I threw a bunch of food in, and exported nothing for weeks and watched P go up while N stayed undetectable. So I dosed N plus food, then of course P went to undetectable.
It took heavy feeding + large doses of N & P to get detectable levels of both.

So what you're seeing is not that strange.
All systems are different. So my results may not follow in your tank.
Cool, thanks Taricha, glad to hear I am not crazy!
