Just give it some time, likely you will see some copepods in a couple of weeks. Try looking at your tank at night, lights off, using a flashlight. You'll find there is a lot more life in your tank at night than during the day. Coralline algae will take a bit longer, probably 6-8 weeks or so. The rest will come over time.

If looking at your tank at night with a flashlight, put red cellophane over the lens. Night time critters will not be as skittish with red light.
