started a new tank with dry live rock. it has been running for about a month under low light and I ran Dr Tim's fast cycle. after two clownfish are in place and two soft corals, and the light has been run up to 40% strength, I quickly saw that it looks like brown algae is coming. just let it run its course or take some action?

i alsow used live sand.

Ya let it take it's course. Don't rush with corals... At this stage you should consider a clean up crew, enough to eat what you have but not enough to starve them.
