New tank - good or bad algae?

[Carlsberg]

Hi everyone, hoping not to annoy asking this as I’ve seen similar posts.

My tank is roughly 2 months old so very new and I am learning every day about the cycling and thank this group for so much info.

Is this good ‘algae’ or should I be doing something different?

My levels are great:
KH - 8
Ca - 420
NO3 - 0
PO4 - 0

I have 2 clowns, Coral Beauty and just added a Bicolor Blenny

Thanks so much

Those are diatoms, normal in a new tank, they feed off the silicates in new sand, they usually pass quickly enough.

O phosphate and 0 nitrates are not great at all

Ok thanks, any suggestions?

Normal diatoms.
What test kits are you using?

Raise them, you want nitrates at 10 and phosphate at .05 to .1

Start feeding multiple times a day.

Feed more often and a little heavier but don't over do it that will cause more problems it's a balancing act
