So my bc29 has been cycling for about two weeks now. I'm noticed it started going brownish algae on the rocks and sand. Is this normal??

Those are diatoms. A perfectly normal part of the cycle. They'll disappear as quickly as they arrived.

Until you have 0 ammonia, nitrate and nitrite. There's not really a time limit, it depends on your tank. Keep on adding that ammonia source!
