My sand, glass, and also my filters all have something brown growing on them. The sand is just a spot here or there, it's not all the sand, and the glass has very little. I'm fairly certain this is some sort of diatom growth as the tank is about a month old. Now my question is: Do diatoms get in filters? I'm asking because I took my clogged fluval C4 foam pad and squeezed it out a few times in a 5 gallon bucket of tank water and the water turned dark. Here's what it looks like when the "stuff" settled in the bottom of the bucket:

I have an RODI unit that I use for water which I mix with seachem equalibrium and seachem acid/alkaline buffer
Anyone know what this might be?
