Is this enough stuff for a cuc to eat without supplementing or do I have an outbreak?

How old is your tank?

Before you start to rely on a CUC to solve your problems though, try some elbow grease first. (manual labor) GL.

Yes, the algae will take it's course, so don't put any nutrients in the tank. The algae will usually go away once it has absorbed all the nutrients in the tank.
