Seen many threads on brown algae but wanted to include a few photos of my own to ensure that this is a normal outbreak for a new tank? All of my readings are fine and right in line with what they should be. The fish are happy to see me and are eating great. Tank has been up and running since 12/31/20, and the clownfish have been in the tank approximately three weeks now. LFS said CUC would be best at the beginning of March once the tank has been up and running for 2 full months. Appreciate everyone's help!

Normal new tank stuff, you wont see it once everything is covered and not bright white
Thanks for the help. Anything to do about it or just let it run it's course? Can I brush some off the sides of the glass, or am I better suited to again, let it run it's course and let the addition of the clean up crew help?
 
Yes wipe the glass.
You can siphon the sand and rock but it will go away sort of. It will get covered with green algae
