Brown alge ?

[RefferFever]

Hey everyone I have a 24 gallon aquatop tank and just started they cycling for about 3 weeks now and on the 3rd week I started noticing brown alge growing only on my live rocks I wanted to know what should be my next step do I let it grow out and will it die off on it's own or do I get some kind of dosing for it

Looks like diatoms. Something pretty normal for new tanks.

Do I do anything to get rid of it or let it die off on it's own

You normally run all of that white light? Don't even need a light while cycling really. I had some bubble algae pop up, added an emerald crab and been good to go.

How much are you running the lights and what temp?

I was told by my lfs to run the lights for 6 hours but since I seen the alge grow I keep them off my temp is 78 I added hemit crabs about 3 days ago an the sand bed is pretty much clean an one of my live rocks are clean
