During the cycling of the tank if you develop an algae bloom, what should you do?
If my ulr phosphate is 0.07 ppm during the cycling of the tank, what should you do?

If you don't have fish in the tank, you should cycle it with the lights off in the beginning, so that the algae doesn't out compete the bacteria you are trying to grow.

Yes I have 2 clownfish in there. Do you scrub the rocks and glass from the algae?
