cyano is red.......the brown algae is diatoms, come from various sources mainly tap water, its typical of new tanks....reduce lighting when you add organisms, also get a clean up crew in there when the cycle is closed to its end, 3 weeks you have alittle while longer probably, ad turbo snails, red legged and blue legged hermits, astrea snails, that should help tremendously if you dont like the algae, also get a magfloat to do the glass scraping....good luck, youre moving right along
