An algae bloom is a stage in the cycling of your tank. I will tell you sternly that your tank is still too new to add fish no matter what the test kits say! Please give it a while to make sure that you truly have established a good, healthy environment for your new critters! Nothing good happens fast in this hobby and rushing can be a sure way to disaster. If your NH4 & NO2 have stayed at zero you could consider adding a hermit crab* or a hardy coral. They will add a smaller bio-load and allow your bacteria to build up to the point where the tank can handle fish.

*You should determine if you want hermits as members of your clean up crew. I like them but some people do not. They are very entertaining to watch and are good scavengers.
