Tank is 6 months old, cycled in the dark for 4 months. All fish were added over first three month. Tank was stable on bioload, turned lights on and was stable for another month. Went to add all the corals you see at once, and ever since then been getting the algae you can see. Largely on sand and glass, some on rocks but not as much.

What type do you think this is? My hypothesis is corals addition changing equilibrium and the bacterial population is just responding to the new status quo?

I went with the nano CUC off of Dr Reef.

Not a ton, but few snails hermits and a emerald crab.
