Besides a UV sterilizer how to I get rid of these?

It is defitnitly debris from your substrate IMO.
I rinsed my sand for 3 hours before i put in tank still had clouds. took 2 days and 2 filters to get rid of it.
As for the algae if you dont have any livestock yet turn the lights out for most of the day for a couple days.
Have been stiring up your snd to get all debris out? if sou this would make your various levels go all over the map thus creating a algae spike.
