I have a 14 gallon biocube that just finished cycled about a month ago. I keep getting green algae in my tank. I clean my tank it goes away and within days it comes back. What's going on why is this happening?

I got a percula clown and a green chromis. I do not have a fuge and I do dose with bacteria I dose with a solution called special blend

Thanks for the tips buddy appreciate it

i got a 14 gallon biocube that just finished cycling. i wanna know whats some good beginner coral to put in it that are easy to take care of. so far i got an acropora and a star polyp. what else can i put in there to make the tank look pretty?

i do have a phosphate kit that my friend gave me which is salifert brand which works really well. i don't have a cal mag or alk kit tho

i use api test kits and i used distilled water

im 5 weeks into the cycle. i tested for nitrate a few days ago and it read 0. I'm confused about that caz doesn't algae usually form with high levels of nitrate?

i recently added a percula clown about a week ago caz their pretty hardy fish he's doing great and yesterday i added a cheap star polyp that i got for 20 bucks which seems to be doing fine as well its opening up real nice. btw would u recommend i do a water change today?

or would you recommend i do a water change?

aren't you not supposed to do a water change when the tanks cycling? won't it disturb the cycle?

ok thanks buddy how long will it takes for the algae to disappear?

hey guys my tanks been cycling for about 5 weeks now and i noticed that my tank has green algae and hair algae on my rocks. is this part of the cycle? is it normal for something like this to happen? will the algae eventually disappear?
