Good or bad algae

Evo 13.5 Nano AIO Tank is a couple months old. Live rock and live sand, couple clowns and a handful of Coral frags. Do 10-15% water changes per week.

Getting this brownish dust over the sand.

Thoughts?

Looks like diatoms. Normal new tank growth. Usually goes away on its own as the tank matures.

I’m using the stock pump for now, one nozzle pointed towards top to make the surface ripple, the other points lower.

The soft corals come out real nice and wave in the current, so I’m happy with the flow. The corals are growing well too.
