My tank as of today, is cycling for 2 weeks already.. lots of pods sticking on the glass walls.
im seeing some green and brown algae surfacing on the sand as well as the rocks.. i know brown algae are normal but is green algae normal too? this few days i reduced my light period to only 2 hours per day.. Anyway, Today took readings of my tank all using API test kit after doing 10% WC : Ammonia : 0ppm Nitrite : 0ppm Nitrate : 30ppm~ pH : 8.2 phosphate : 0.25 both ammonia and nitrite is 0ppm.. does this means my tank is cycled? i wont be adding any livestock for at least another week though.. maybe another 2 weeks if i can tahan.. |

Its normal to have green & brown algae in the tank, even during cycling period.
If ammonia & nitrite remain at 0ppm consistently, its safe to say that cycling has completed and you can start adding in livestock slowly. This is where the real fun begins!
