Normal. Don't stress.

I would add a snail or two to help clean things up.
Trochus are great for that.
You can ignore diatoms, but eventually you will need a clean up crew for real algae, so you can start now.
But do not add a ton, especially this early.

At one month, with diatoms just starting, you might want to hold off for a bit on coral.
