Help
So my tank has been running for about 2 months. Have no fish just a couple of snails and clams. It is a 12 gal nano cube. My water is yellowish and there is brownish algae growing on the rock and sand. I have corals being delivered tomorrow not sure what to do. I did a 3 gallon water change this morning. Here are my parameters:
Salinity 1.025 Nitrates 0 Nitrites 0 Ph 8.4 Amm 0 Will the coral be ok? |

May just be an algae or phyto bloom, Corals should be fine. Maybe run some carbon and GFO if you arent already.

Probably a diatom bloom. All tanks go through that phase, and its harmless. If you want, carbon can help water color clarity.
