Just a quick tip don't ever dose what your not testing for I don't know if you did or not but just saying also what me x has told me has now stuck " the solution to your pollution is dilution" keep up the water changes hopefully it will go away

+1, that's good advice. Also you do not need to dose for that coral load. Wc's are all you need to replenish elements. You need to be very careful with nanos when adding anything to your tank. Don't know if your getting advice from a lfs, but I would start to ask here before you do things, there are lots of members willing to share there experience, knowledge, and let you learn from there mistakes.
 
Thakyou best advice the solution for the pollution is dilution and can i just leave it like that and the coral eventually use it up i am also getting a lot of algae in sand bed and glass in in the process of removing all sand from my biocube
 
the solution for the pollution is dilution


This means do water changes. You'll find that pretty much no matter your problem in this hobby, at least part of the solution will be doing wc's. I think you missed the other equally important piece of advice "don't add anything to the tank that you are not testing for"
 
Well thanks i lost my euphylilias but still hsve the rest doin fine specially my xenia it loves it
