Tank is a little under 2 months old and Im getting a carpet of Cyanobacteria as well as on the rocks. Tank is cloudy but fully cycled. Lights are running on normal cycle given that I have coral. 6 fish currently in the tank feeding every other day.
Ammonia - 0
Nitrites - 0
Nitrates - 0-5 (Using API, hard to distinguish)
PH - 8.2
Phosphate - 0.01 (Tested with Hanna)
Salinity - 1.025
Temp - 76.0-76.5
Tank has been cloudy for 3 days now, not sure if I should leave the tank untouched and continue with 15% water changes every other week or try a black out/water change. I tossed a media bag full of carbon in the tank two days ago but have seen little improvement in clarity. If it's just going to run its course as part of the new tank cycle, I don't mind leaving it. Just want others opinions for peace of mind.
