Diatoms.
Normal stage of a newly cycled tank.
Should go away on it's own. You can stir the sand a little in those areas to help minimize it if you want.
 
Hello
how long would disappear by itself?
Before has Dinoflagellates I brushed they left , now diatoms 30 days they appeared
Thanks
 
cliffhanger, when you do a water change, have you tried to siphon off the algae? I think I might have a similar problem to yours if the algae forms a "mat" on the sand, and when you try to suck it out, you peel off a layer of the sandbed.
 
Hello,
Nope no waters change yet, I will try increase skimming a half photo period maybe remove layer on sand [emoji106][emoji4]
