Start dosing some ammonium bicarbonate in pulse doses. 20g into 1L of RO for a stock solution. 2-3mL per 26 gallons of system water will raise N by 0.23ppm
With your P at that level, you only need to raise N to 5-6ppm total. As long as you're feeding your fish, you're getting some nitrogen, so I wouldn't worry too much. The more biomass you accumulate, the more N and P will be taken up by the corals. Most of my systems are nitrogen limited, but when it tests low or out of range with P, I just dose some ammonium bicarb.
