Coral helping algae problem?

Since I started my reef tank 2 months ago i've had algae accumulating on the back wall to the point where it was completely covered. A couple weeks ago I started the reef building process and since then the algae on the wall has been depleting. Could the addition of coral slow nuisance algae growth?

 

Algae is a common result from tank cycling. Unfortunately I would expect the algae blooms to continue for awhile more. Typically after the cycle is complete you get a green algae bloom then a diatoms bloom.
Wait for it, it's on it's way

Actually, I didn't mention that due to live sand, live rock, and bacteria cultures(Bio-Spira) my tank has been cycled for about a month and a half. The blooms have already come and gone, but green algae has kept coming.

 

how big is your tank? i wouldnt worry about the green algae, just sounds like a normal tank to me

 

The tank is 90 gallons. It has a much larger amount of nuisance algae than most other large reefs I have seen. Maybe it will slow as the tank ages.

 

You can always get a phosphate reactor to help slow down your algae growth and some quality inverts like cerith snails and mexican turbo snails.
