In addition to that, rocks and a coral sand start covering with green-brown substance. Not too much so far but already a visible amount. Is it normal?
If not how to get reed of it? I was trying to upload pictures but can't figure out how to do this.

Thanks

You did it right, but you have to remove the ?### portion of the tag (everything after the .jpg) to have the URL recognized for your images.
You have some grape caluerpa (caluerpa racemosa) in pics one and two. Conventional wisdom is not that wise for a display tank, but a bit tricky to get rid of.

Pics are too small for the green-brown, but a guess says diatoms, which will cycle out.

Thanks Matt, I guess anyhow I need to wait untill the tank cycle completely. Maybe I can remove some part of caluerpa physically.
