Tank has been set up for about a week now. Temp is about 78 F. Salinity is fine. Tested my water today and the PH was about 8.0-8.2. Ammonia is .5-1.0 PPM still and has been for the past week. Nitrate is around 10 PPM and Nitrite is around .5 PPM. Alkalinity is around 250 PPM. Anyway I was wondering if my tank is cycling "ok" according to my water test. I did develop what I believe is some blue-green algae (see picture below) and I read that this is what a cycled tank starts to develop. I am also thinking of some "chemi-pure" from the LFS. Is this a good idea this early in the game? If so should I add some filter floss?Where should I put the filter floss? Finally I do have the bio-balls in there and if I get some chemi-pure, should I pull them all out at once or should I slowly do it? Much thanks in advance for any help!!!!!!
