Not sure what this is....

Algae for 3 weeks, growing on rocks exposed to light, some on sandbed
Looks like this
Should I just wait it out and just perform regular sand stirring, filter sock changes, 10% weekly water changes and 2-3x rock scrubbing?
Or should I act?
>I do have a dual canister BRS media reactor with ROX GAC and GFO that I have not used yet.
>I do have Dr. Tim's Waste away that I have not used yet.
thx!
