Rust colored short hairy algae all over my sandbed. Tank is 8 months old. Thanks!

Looks like diatoms. Siphon well, reduce white light intensity, scrub off rocks with firm toothbrush and add 1ml of hydrogen peroxide per 10 gallons at night.— will subside
A few CC astrea and nassarius snails will assist with removal
