ok so i just set up a 20gal with a 100gal sea clone and a power filter for 30gal. and its been running for around 2 weeks now and i have some brownish caramel color algae on the sand. the hermit crabs love it and are just eating away i just wanna know if its normal to have algae at this time. and i have very small white bug looking things on the glass. not a lot but there are some. bad or good?

Bugs are probly copepods, they're harmless. Brownish stuff is diatoms, normal for a new tank.
