my coraline algae are growing wild

[tag]

The green stuff is all over and now the purple are starting to go crazy too. I know I'm supposed to wait till my tank cycles before adding softies, but is this a sign that my tank is ready? Its only been two months.

by two months you could be pretty stable, what have your reading beens on your test kits? any spikes? a bunch of zeros?>

coralline is definately a good sign. what is your water testing at? if all tests well go for it just remember to go slow.

aside from the nitrates, u got a good thing going.

If the ammonia has been zero for a solid three weeks, I would do a few 25% changes and start thinking about a cleanup crew. Soft corals don't mind 10ppm nitrate, and most are pretty tough, so you might be able to add some of those soon, too.
