Hello everyone! I have recently started up an aquaone aquareef 195 and it has been setup for about 6-7 weeks and recently a green dusty type algae has formed on the glass which if I clean comes back within the hour! I have a feeling it has something to do with the tank still cycling and going through a phase but I just wanted to be sure? I would post pics but idk how posting via mobile! My parameters are as follows:

Ammonia: 0ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm
Nitrate:0ppm
Phosphate: 0-003ppm

My stock:
2x clownfish
3x Banggai Cardinalfish
1x Coral Beauty

Inverts
1x Cleaner Shrimp
6x Nassarius Snails
5x Turbo Snails
1x Stomella Snail (Hitchhiker)
Various copedpods and amphipods

Coral
2x Mushroom Coral
1x Toadstool Coral
1x Green Cabbage Coral
 
Yes just a phase. It's possibly still some diatoms or a film algae, normal.
 
Thankyou so much for the advice :p I had the feeling it was nothing to worry about :3! Do you know where I could start a tank thread? Would love to show things off :3?
