Looks like you ha e a lot of life in your sand bed. Means your tank is maturing nicely.

What about the different colours on the glass

You have a full tank picture? Looks like coraline algae.

It's part of you sand bed maturing, the different colors are more than likely bacteria which is good. I would take your finger or other small device and slightly move the sand, very top, until you stop seeing bubble percolate from the sand bed. Helps cut down on bad gasses. You'll more that likely start seeing all sorts of animals in your sand bed, don't be concerned unless their eating livestock

Good idea on stirring the sand bed when it’s new to help with gas exchange. Adding nasirius snails and other sand siffters will do the work for you!
