No algae?

[Notsolostfish]

My tank is 5 weeks old. Cycled with 2 darwin clowns and 1 blenny. And i was just wondering why i have no algae? Like i know u should have the ugly stage for stuff to function nornally. But i dont know. I got diatoms that literally retracted in 2 days. I have snails, crabs and skunk cleaner shrimp. Its 36 gallons DT with 18 gallons sump. My tank is cycled i made sure its 100% cycled. My g5 radion blue light is set of one of the eco tech presets. 7am to 7pm. I dont get it. I dont want to jinx myself nobody wants algae but at the same time i want to know kf my tank is running properly.

Your nutrient input and export are in perfect harmony atm? And microfauna helping?

My ugly phase didn't even really get started until around month 6 and lasted a few months after.

Unfortunately it will more than likely come back at some stage as parameters change and new additions alter the chemistry.
