Hey guys in getting towards the end of cycling my tank and have this brown algae all over my glass and sand. Anyone know how I can get rid of it before it takes over too much?

It's been getting steadily worse the last few days.

Thanks!

Don't worry be happy!! It's only Diatoms :) Very normal (although ugly) part of a new setup. Do a search so you can study up on them. Will go away after a week or two.
