I think the nutrients are perfect, the Cyano just found a really tasty bit of coral skeleton to feast onI know my tank is a bit different so cyano is cyano, helps me judge where my nutrients are at, in the cube end, pretty much non in the display.

Why are you only feeding every other day, how would you feel on no food, the nutrients need to be higher so feed more, you will probably need to use chemiclean as it’s very hard to clear on it’s own ,!,Tank is a little under 2 months old and Im getting a carpet of Cyanobacteria as well as on the rocks. Tank is cloudy but fully cycled. Lights are running on normal cycle given that I have coral. 6 fish currently in the tank feeding every other day.
Ammonia - 0
Nitrites - 0
Nitrates - 0-5 (Using API, hard to distinguish)
PH - 8.2
Phosphate - 0.01 (Tested with Hanna)
Salinity - 1.025
Temp - 76.0-76.5
Tank has been cloudy for 3 days now, not sure if I should leave the tank untouched and continue with 15% water changes every other week or try a black out/water change. I tossed a media bag full of carbon in the tank two days ago but have seen little improvement in clarity. If it's just going to run its course as part of the new tank cycle, I don't mind leaving it. Just want others opinions for peace of mind.

I do agree that feeding the fish every day is a good idea. I feed mine at least 2 times a day. When I had Anthias I would feed 6 times a day.I often do 24 hour fasts so...
I understand the nutrients need to be higher but dumping food in there to help build the nutrients is also a great way to get an ammonia spike.
The tank is starting to clear itself of both the cloudiness and the Cyano. Figure it’s just part of new tank syndrome.
