little brown spots

tank is about 3 weeks old and have added a few fish after the LR was in for about 2 weeks. there are some brown spots that have developed on the glass. what might this be and is it normal?

yes it is normal in a new tank, it is diatoms.. it should go away with time, its a new tank thing.

thats just a 'diatom' bloom. Perfectly normal and just tells you you're on the way to a good start
