Brown stuff on the glass?

A quick question.. I have a 55 gallon FOWLR tank and put three damsel type fish in on Wednesday and the fish seem to be doing well. Just today though, getting a brown clored stuff on the glass along the bottom edge where the sand and the glass meet? Not sure what it is? Algae? If so, is this the need for a clean up crew type thing to get rid of or what is the best option for this and the best way to solve?
 
Parameters?
Type of filtration?
Lighting schedule?
How long has tank been setup?
 
are you using tap water?
 
Sounds like the typical diatom bloom.
