Oops, I missed the green color. I just know lots of people have nitrofer blooms when the tanks is cycling. I did, for 3 weeks.
Yeah it is common to have ammonia clouds, but after the cycling is complete, it is also common to see an algae bloom.

Sorry to hear about the O, but good to hear the cycling is over with
Firemouth, Texas, Severum, Geos, or something along those lines would be fine.
