I would like to see one of their tanks last more than 2 years. Goes to show you don't believe everything you see on tv. Stupid fake coral set ups.
 
+1 @Aquarian. New tanks go through all kinds of crazy (normal) stuff in the beginning.

Most likely what you're seeing is diatoms. They're ugly but harmless and go away on their own.

A bit more information about your system would be appreciated. What do you have for equipment?

Those are diatoms, don't worry, they're normal. Lose the YT blue devil, they get the devil name honest. If you're going to keep a deep sand bed in the main tank, I'd add more. Fosters and smith have the best price on substrates and 2 bags nets you free shipping or look on Craigslist for some that has been out of a tank for a while, I get a little skeeved about buying it directly from someone's tank. If you're going to DILIGENTLY clean that canister filtre you can keep it, otherwise they're nitrate factories.
 
Blennys LOVE diatoms, just sayin. They're usually the first fish I'll add to a system. There isn't many fish they can't hold their own against. My Starry and the mimic used to swim laps around the wavemaker.
