The tank is newer but not brand new, yesterday the water was Christal clear. I have some chaeto algae, could that be the problem? Or is it a bacterial bloom. Parameters are normal

I wouldn't worry about it, I can tell by how clean the rocks and sand are that the tank is new. Give it time to settle and cycle. Likely a bacterial bloom, which is not uncommon or problematic in a cycling tank.
