So I think my diatom bloom is ending now the algae is turning to green algae is this part of the process I'm not sure because I've started dosing with aquavitro fuel and feeding micro algae I think it is for filter feeders(feather duster). Is the green algae the next phase after a diatom bloom?

Yep sure is although I would stop feeding fuel to the fire ( pun intended) for awhile.
You really don't need to feed much of anything right now unless you have anemones that you have to feed. Again your water changes are probably taking care of your requirements. You really don't have a lot in there. If you want get some phytoplankton ( in a bottle) or zoo plankton ( also in a bottle) and that will be good

I agree with all the above
I do already have about 24 snails and crabs and 2 anemones and 2 clown fish and 2 cleaner shrimp I wasn't planning on getting anemones yet but some guy on Facebook was selling them and I got them for a steal 5-7 in rbta and purple tip Condy for 100$ 2-4 in. Nitrate levels are between 5-10ppm

Imho your tank is too young or new for anemones... and after reading and researching I believe it takes months and upto a year for a tank to finish cycling .. or become stable ... slow and cautious is the way too go ... patience now will help you later ... happy reefing

Nitrates are high ( some may say no) but from what I learned 2 to 5 is fine anything higher is a no and again patience my friend a little fast. Slow down some
