I'm guessing this has only been running a few days. Take no action except maybe cleaning the glass. It's probably just bacteria colonizing. Kill the light if nothing lives there, let things stabilize a while in the dark. It's probably too soon for any visible algae.

A full set of water params would help if you want a better diagnostic from someone.
