Fish Tank - Stock ! CYCLE

[Josephrandle]

My tank has been cycled and it has now developed brown algae on glass as well as some green coralline. I currently have a CUC and a BiColor Blenny. I want to add more fish but am worried about the algae and green coralline. Should I be worried or am I good to go?
Parameters are currently

ammonia : 0
Nitrite : 0
Nitrate : 5

You need to find out your phosphate number (with a test kit that you can easily read between 0.00 and 0.1+

However, this is perfectly normal in a new tank. What clean up members do you have?

Couple snails; a red little starfish, couple regular hermit crabs.
Trying to get myself a sand sifting star fish and some more snails and crabs.

I would hold off on the sand sifting star. Your "new" sand bed will not have enough food to support that star.

Weird S is about to happen in a new tank. Just roll with it and get a phosphate kit.

Hold off on the sand sifting star until your aquarium is much older because there is nothing in your sand for it to eat.
