Brown algae spots while tank cycle

[edc_aquarium]

So my tank has been running for about 4 weeks now, i used dr tims to start the cycle, i checked my readings and i dont have any ammonia, nitrite, nitrite and phosphate what could it be? Here are some pictures

Probably something that came in on those frags. Could be corraline starting too. Hard to say.

Fwiw , and IMO. When you get new frags in, hit them with a toothbrush and dip to get as much algae off as you can. Nothing is perfect (save strict coral qt and redips) but you’ll be ahead of the game.

These frags were from my nano tank that started leaking but i did use a toothbrush and dipped them

Could be; Diatoms of some sort or algae of some sorts just getting started. My tanks usually go from brown to green to red then back to green and then some purple starts to grow. Its a good sign. Your rock and sand look to sterile.

Looks like the start of diatoms to me. Normal new tank uglies.

It’s all normal. Mine had the same thing starting out and it’s all good now rocks have many colors to them.
