Live rock/sand question

[marman2014]

So it's been awhile since I started a saltwater tank. I am only in week two and have lots of brown coming in on rock and sand is it normal do I need to clean up or let it ride?

It looks like a diatom out break. This is a normal phase for a new tank it will eventually clear up and disappear.

Not to mention you don't need the lights on during a cycle. It's only adding to your diatom outbreak.
