I used a cadlight pls-100, was a little work horse. Little sensitive to set but once it was set, it was great. I added an air valve to the air intake line to help fine tune even more.

Add some pure ammonia to get a positive reading on your test kit and see if it goes down.

If it does, you're cycled.

Diatom blooms are typical when nearing the end of a cycle but also in new tanks in general. Be prepared for new-ugly-tank-syndrome for a couple months.
