Just like to add, if your tank is near direct sunlight then that
may be a factor also.

I don't know why you took the rocks out, they are part of your
biological filtration system. If it's truly diatom algae, the
brown stuff should fluff right off. You don't need to scrub
your rocks. And probably shouldn't. You'll just kill the good
bacteria that's already starting to build.

I tried the fluffing approach, and it wasn't working. I realized
I would lose some of the beneficial bacteria, so I added
additional bacteria to the tank. Now the algae is gone and I've
also noticed my fish are much less aggressive without all those
places to hide. I'm debating on putting the rocks back in at
this point. I might go in a different direction with the
aquascape and simply go with a 3D background. Thanks again for
all the good advice.

Lol, John would like to hear the lower aggression with the rocks
gone. That's the method he uses to keep the peace in his tanks.
