Hey guys, just noticed some brown spots... wondering if this is a bloom?

I have the lights at 8 am - 8 pm to kessil tuna blue setting.

Any suggestions?

Is it possible that it is the start of diatoms? It looks like you may have a fairly new tank so this would be a normal part of your tank development.

let it run its course - welcome to the beginning stages of the longggggggg process of tank maturation. keep up your regular maintenance schedule and have fun!

I shut off the lights 2 hours early? Or should i leave it 12 hours?
