NU you are completely right about water changes in the cycling process.  Sorry I should have clarified that a little more. After the cycling process do regular water changes.
Also, a cleaning crew will help you stay on top of it.Also there are fish that will eat the nuisance algae. A foxface is a very good choice. Some people will suggest tangs, but not all of them will eat the crappy algae.
Look into a refugium as well. Oh yeah, since this is eventually going to get thrown out I'll go ahead and say it. Consult with people here before you do something you're not sure about. The general rule of thumb is never trust your LFS. There are some good ones, but unfortunately the bad ones overshadow them a lot and it's better to prevent a tragedy by asking around.
