Algea Question

[Reeling Reefer]

I have a 180 gallon oceanic tank, 6 weeks old, has completly cycled, nitrite, nitrate readings 0, phosphate 0 , salinity 1.025, PH 8.0, I use ro/di water only, I have alot of algea on the sand and rocks that is brown in color and very stringy, it appears to be dying off and floating up to the top, it also has some bubbles in it. Will this all go away and is it just part of the maturing of the tank? I have 3 small fish in there and alot of snails.I have a 55 gallon sump running a ASM 3 skimmer, also have 5 maxijet 1200 powerheads going, so there is alot of flow. Lights are 3 250 watt MH, and 4 39watt T5'S. Run the lights about 7-8 hours right now.

Hang in there.
It is normal.
Try to get your PH up and maintain your calcium above 400.
This is the first step in your tanks maturation process.
A lot of people fail by trying to "mass stock" a tank, and then have to deal with the algae blooms.
Nip it in the bud and then slowly expand.
Don't get discouraged!
