Default Algae questions

The Algae pack I bought cleaned up the tank in about 2 days. Within the
first 4 hours they were at work on the front glass. It was great! They are
cool to watch too.

Hello people,
My 46G tank has been cycling for about 5 weeks now. About a week and a

half
ago, algae started growing on the glass, and now all the live rock is

pretty
brownish, with more algae on the glass. I have used lighting on the tank
for about 3 hours a day only. Water from 5 stage RO/DI unit. A few
questions:

1) Is this algae growth bad? Or is this pretty normal for a tank with no
critters in it?
2) Is this type of algae bad? If so, what can I do?
3) Will Algae Attack Pack - Ultimate Pack
http://liveaquaria.com/product/prod_...=25&pCatId=531 -

clean
the algae up? Is edible algae for critters? I will be adding these in
about a week or so.
4) If Algae pack will not clean it up, what can I do?

Thanks.
