    Getting back to my op.

    Tested the parameters today

    Ammonia 0

    Nitrite 0

    Nitrate 40 ppm

    phosphates 0

    I had a diatom bloom which went from brown to yellow and now I have a ton of green algae.

    time for CUC?

    Id say go ahead and get one, but understand you may need to feed them a little bit too early on! I wish my cycle had been as fast as yours lol

    +1 to Alex, just don't get a full blown CUC for your tank. Once your tank matures, add more at that time if needed. Otherwise you may be starving them as Alex noted.
