Your starting to produce nitrate that's good, I would wait one more day and then start with 10-15 percent. It literally a hurry up and wait game, but your getting close

I believe that it is just your base rock becoming live. The base rock I have in my new 29 biocube is turning into that as well.

Brown stuff is algae and numbers are starting to look good. Your cuc will take care of the algae. How much of a water change did you do today?
