My tank has been running for 3 months now. For the last month I battled against a light case of diatoms which just finally disappeared yesterday. My parameters are consistent, my copepod population is thriving, and corals are extremely happy. Almost to the point I didn't realize how big some of the corals would get when fully extended.
Anyway if I've made it to this point now with no serious breakout of any algae is it safe to assume I've missed the ugly phase? Most things I've watched and read showed people well into the ugly stage at this point.
