So my params are good 0 ammonia 0 nitrite
64 ppm of nitrate. I'm getting a descent amount of diatom bloom I have deff had worse on other tanks. Should I keep the lights off or keep them on and let the stuff grow. I just added my clean up crew so it should be getting better just wanted some other info

Add the cleanup crew and let them do there thing. You could shorten the light cycle to help a little but it goes away eventually so I would not be concerned
