Looks like diatoms to me.
How old is the tank?
Also what is your water source?

Also looks like a light dusting of diatoms to me. All new tanks will experience diatoms.

Check your di resin for premature depletion

Early ugly phases. Don't sweat it.
Everything Else looks good.

My rock is starting to brown a little too (photo is with 6700k bulb but I'm using actinic). Day 28, I assume it's the same thing?

Diatoms it looks like. Part of a cycle. They eat silicates out of the system, no more silcates, no more diatoms. Id let it run its course.
