Brown stuff...

OK...I'm a little worried & need some help.
My 29 gallon has been cycling for about 2.5 weeks. Yesterday I noticed some brown algea looking stuff on the sides and back of my tank. What is going on? It actually on some of my live rock. Any suggestions???

When your tank is ready you add a clean up crew (snails and such) they will take care of it, and most of it will go away
what type of filter do you have? and do you have powerheads for flow?? (circulation)

See that brown streak?!?! Is that Diatoms? Is it preventable? See it on the first pic? It's all over my LR? Do I need to scrub it off?

I've got the stock powerhead that came with the BioCube. Is it too early to get a clean up crew? This stuff looks nasty!
