For the last 3 days, my water has been slightly cloudy. My tank is 31 days old and is in a diatom bloom currently. I am wondering if I am having a bacteria or other algae bloom too. I have Chemi-pure blue, and I can add to the tank if needed.

Also, my alk has been 8-8.3 in ever test. Today, it was 7.5, but I did add 3 small zoas to the tank since the last test. Tomorrow is water change day. If it doesn't come back up by the next test, should I be concerned? If so, how do I fix it beyond water changes?

ph 8.3
amm 0
nitrite 0
nitrate 3.7
phos 0
alk 7.5
1.025
77.4
