How do you keep the sane white?
Got brown on it and some on the glass. Tank up 2 months. It started the day after I added 1 ml of PhytoPlex(phytoplankton) for the candy cane coral

Its completely normal in new tanks. Most tanks can go through a few algae outbreaks during the first year or so. Keep your nitrates and phosphates down and you should be good.
But what do you have for cleanup crew? I suggest adding cerith snails. They're good w/the sand and everything else too for that matter.

stiring it in is only a temp solution, its best to get a good clean up crew, like Sir said, Cerith snails, or safe starfish, Sandsifting sea star if your tank is big enough,

I would not stir it IMO. Once its live, stirring can actually be a bad idea as it can sometimes kick stuff up causing a spike in something.

Even if it was a big tank, i wouldnt recommend a sand sifter star. They eat all life in the sandbed which can pretty much make it useless for having pods and stuff. But in a small tank like a 29 (shoot, i wouldnt put one in a 125) thats just gonna kill it in a really short time. Another thing you could do is a fighting conch. NOT a queen conch....those get huge and are like the sand sifter stars...strip the sandbed. Fighting conchs are a lot smaller and as far as i know of, they dont eliminate all life in the sand.

I have a sandsifting ss and i have pods everywhere, maybe someday he will eat them all but so far he doesnt seem to be doing a good job they just keep multiplying

Possibly diatoms, if not already using, switch to RO water
