Welcome to the board....Sounds like what you have is diatoms....as Mark said most new setups go through an algae phase and the algae will subside as the tank settles in and matures. Diatoms can be a product of three things...1) light,how long are you running your lights for. 2) nutrients, what and how much are you feeding? and 3) a lack of flow, how much water movement do you have in the tank right now?
