So can I start adding coral then? I thought having cyano = no corals as that's an indication of phosphate.

I did a 30% water change on Saturday and the phosphate reading was 0, but I'm sure it'll be back up to the .5 range soon.

It can be a perfectly natural marker of a new tank cycle. It must be introduced, and usually is, on the new live rock straight from the ocean. If set up correctly, one should never see it PERSIST beyond the initial bloom.
