Help: what is this algae?!

[hansolo]

New tank, around two months old. Increased my lighting schedule lately and these started coming out...

Are they diatoms, or brown filamentous algae, or dinos?! They are all over the glass and the rocks

What should I do?

Thanks

Seems like diatoms.

Doesnt look scary bro, no cause for alarm. You probably just had a spike in nutrients, get some media to control your nitrates if you are able to.. Algone or biospheres are good choices..

They will appear in a newly set up tank , let them run their course , they are eating up the silicate and other nutrients . Once these element are gone , they will be gone too

Yup. Just did some tank cleaning to remove the unsightly algae. Just find it weird that it appeared only after 2 months. Though i had a diatom bloom the first week already

This is common.  Give it some time and it will go away when the silicates from your new glass is depleted by the diatoms.  If you want faster results, get some turbo snails to clean it.
