Brown spots on Rock?

[cam78]

Tank is a reef and has been set up since July 4th. Mixed LR with base rock which was actually Reef Saver Eco Rox I think its called. Nice stuff, real light stuff. Anyway I am getting this brown spot looking stuff all over the rocks. Doesn't look like diatoms, I don't think. Then it seems where I have the most current with powerheads I am getting a brown film which is a little long almost like hair algae but isn't. Any idea?
 
I have a Bullet 2 skimmer from Precision Marine and isn't pulling much out of tank because I have thick filter socks which I think are trapping almost everything.

Nah I don't think so. I guess I just wait it out until something happens. Looks like a diatom but is spots of it rather than a coating.
