Its diatoms, and theres not much you can do about it. Its part of the "uglies" part of the cycle. Basically your ecosystem is running through some motions, and it'll go through an ugly time where there'll be a lot of algae before settling out and maturing. Diatoms are just the first stage. You can just turkey baste or scrub them off rocks, and suck them up during water changes. Other than that, not much. You can go ahead and stock a CUC, I'd do some Trochus or astrea snails and some hermits, I really like the red legged and blue legged.

Usually it's just diatom algae at this point. Just let it run its course
