My tank is getting close to its four week mark and I just noticed some brown algae on my wood. I did a little research and I'm pretty sure its diatoms but I wanted to see if i was right. Here is a picture of the stuff

Definitely diatoms... you can just wipe it off the surfaces it appears on and when you do vaccuming, try to get as much of the stuff as possible. Other than that, just wait on it and it'll go away... eventually. It is a normal part of the development and maturation of any tank.
