As you stated above your reef is very young.

I don't know what test kits you use.

Phos and Nitrates at zero is not good.

I'd cut back on the Pro Bio s and NP Pro.

Shoot for something like this.

Phos = .03 ppm
Nitrate = 4 ppm

If they come up a little higher don't sweat it.

Adding a fish and feeding some flake food could help.

Try to pull up the nutrient a little bit...possibly your corals are suffering from very low nutrient and if you are using Probiotic salt then stop dosing Pro Bio S and NP pro for sometime. This will help to pull up nutrient a bit.
