Hi! My tank is 4 months old. Always been super low nutrient, could never measure any phosphates or nitrate. Fish have been in for month and a half now, and tank is very large, so not many fish for the water volume, although I have been feeding quite a bit.
Finally I have phosphates (0.02) checked with Hanna checker. Nitrate still can’t really tell as I use Salifert and low reading color differences are pretty hard to pick up. But I guess I should have it as well for now.
Also, finally seeing what I hope is algae (hope not something worse). You can (i hope) see it on the video. Much kore noticeable closer to the lights on the tallest rocks.
All normal yes? Not to worry? I do have coral already as well

Looks like chrysophytes. You can brush it off but you should make nitrate detectable.
