ID on brown algae looking stuff

[CodeBlueMedic]

Towards the end of my tank cycle and I have noticed this brown stuff sprout up literally overnight...None of it was there yesterday morning. Any ID on what it is and how might I get rid of it?

Thanks,
CBM

diatoms. they'll go away on their own. if you dont like the look, many snails such as trochus, turbo, etc eat them. you could also siphon out while doing water changes.

Yes, Diatoms. As pyithar said - they will go away. +1 to his suggestions of snails

Thanks for the replies guys! I just did the 24 hour ammonia test to see if my tank was indeed finished cycling and it is...Got the clean up crew from the LFS today and am waiting for them to acclimate.

Got some trochus for the job!
