Amm is usually .2
Nitrite .3
Nitrate .2
Haven't done much with substrate, glass bottom
The cloudy water is more on the white to gray. No green
Bloom is all brown.
Thanks for the readings.
Since you are getting readings other than 0 for ammonia and nitrite, this indicates that the tank is not cycled. Also, since you have no substrata, and the water is a cloudy white to gray, this would indicate a bacteria bloom in addition to the diatom bllom your are seeing.
Now there will likely be some differences of opinion, but this is what I would recommend.
Don't make additional water changes, except to keep the ammoni level down. You need to keep ammonia down so you will not kill your fish.
Inspect all your live rock. This is going tobe a big job. Go over each piece looking for anything dead. Even long cured rock can contan things like sponges, tube worms and so on. Usually this is good, but if it dies, it can foul the water quickly. One good test is to give the rock the "smell test". Normal rock can smell sort of bad, but if there is something dead on it, the rock will reallysmell foul.
Since your going to be moving all the live rock to inspect it, also look around for anything else that is dead, such as snails.
For the time being reduce you lighinting. You don't want to do this for the long haul, but sometimes a lower level of light can help stop algae blooms.
Don't panic. Usually thise things will resolve themselves in time.
