So as the title says my ammonia and nitrite are 0 and my nitrate is 5ppm about 3 weeks after starting a cycle. At this point I do not have any algae or diatoms aside from the coralline algae that came on my live rock. I know a lot of people add a CUC at this stage but since there is no algae they would starve.
Should I wait around for an algae bloom to add a CUC?
Should I do a large WC, get my nitrates to 0 and add a pair of clowns? Then add CUC?
Thanks in advance! Just trying to do it all the right way.
