Don't know what to do next. I have a 125 gallon with 20 gallon sump 225 pounds of live rock and anenome that came with the rock from an existing tank. One rock has a polyp on it and it looks healthy. Tank has been up about five months, and never really cycled. I took about30 gallons of water with the live rock. Ammonia and nitrite have always been on 0. Nitrates are 20 ppm.I have six small fish and no other coral. Also a cleanup crew from Foster and Smith. Coraline algae growing on the rocks. There was some growing on the back of the tank but now that is green. I got a new evolution LED light hanging over the tank about 18".I have on a timer 10 hours a day. I will be getting another when funds permit. I did 2 15 gallon water changes in the last week. Yes I use RO/DI water, but not on the initial fill up.

I thought after a week I would have much better readings. I don't know what to do, should I just continue for a while or can I up the dosages.
