i have found that once you get the bad algae (well more hair algae in this case) that the cycle is almost done. at least that is how it seems for me.

It is really nice to see you here in this thread. While your online how about you go over to the TOTM thread and enter or vote. It will only take a minute

Well... what really happens is that the algae "fixes" the nutrients and does help eliminate them from the water column, but... it is just tricking the tests. You then have to get rid of the hair algae or whatever for "true" elimination of the waste.
Yes, Diatom blooms and other "cycle" issues typically signify your nearing the end of a cycle, but it is not "the end".
FWIW.. I have BIG hair algae problems in my seahorse tank right now, as a result of the death of a bunch of large turbo snails while I was away. I'm winning the battle, but slowly, and my tank has been "cycled" for a year plus.
