Brown Algea

[Fird]

Just recently got my tank started and now I have what seems to be brown algea all over my rocks. The guy at my lfs told me this is normal and it will go away eventually. Any input?

 

[tarpon]

Its perfectly normal when setting up a new saltwater. Its called diatoms

 

[carey]

Yep , it will burn itself out within a few weeks I bet. Just ugly for now is all. Not doing any damage.
