How long does an Algae bloom last? Iv had my tank about 2-3 months and it never had any algae now its getting algae and I dont like it!!

I use RO water I dont overfeed so is this normal for my tank since its fairly new?

On the good note Im starting to have lots of coraline algae growth all over my rocks and glass!!!

It is normal your tank will probably go through several different outbreaks it is what we call maturing.
Lee PS it should be over within a year.

There are other things you can be doing on a on going basis to minimize or curb the algae blooms
