New Tank (kind of) Question

I restarted my tank after a year and a half layoff after moving.



It has been 29 days since I started

75 Gal Tank with Skimmer, Reactor, and BioBalls.

I have 60 pounds live sand, 80 pounds of once live rock (they were in a box for 18 months after moving)

LED lights with blues and whites





I have an RODI unit, which is the only place I get water from

I use Reef Crystals Salt

My PH is 8.2

Specific Gravity 1.022

Ammonia - 0

Nitrites 2

Nitrates 0

About 3 days ago I noticed my water a little cloudy, 3 days later it is worse.

This morning I only turned my Blues on to see what would happen and I noticed something I could not see with the whites on - little tiny bubbles forming on the rocks that were once alive over a year ago.



The question is should I get rid of all the light and kill the algae that is forming or let it go and see what happens.



I have 1 fish for the cycle (black molly) and no coral or anything else.
