Nano 5 Days Old

[kilroy20]

I Have A 12 Gallon Jbj. It's Been Set Up For 5 Days Now. I Have Live Sand And Live Rock In There About 12 Pounds Of Each. I Used Ro Water. Did Some Tests 2 Days Ago;
Ph 7.9
Nitrite 1.6
Nitrate 50
Ammonia .6
Calcium 460
Phosphates 0
Salinity Just Under 30
Gravity At 1.022
Now For The Possible Problem. I'm Noticing Green Algea Growth On My Live Rock. Only Thing In The Tank At This Point Is 2 Blue And 2 Red Footed Crabs. Should I Be Worried Yet? Not Sure If This Is Part Of My Cycling. Should I Do A Water Change Yet? Help Me Out Please.

Congrats on the new tank

Algae growth is part of your cycle, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Someone else may be able to explain the cycle a little better than I can. As for the crabs, there shouldn't be anything in there live unless it is from your live rock as a hitchiker.
