Is this a normal brown algea that will go away as tank matures?

[JGard911]

This brown "furry" algea is covering much of the rock in my tank.
I have been doing 15-20% water changes once a week, keeping my nitrates below 5.
Is there anything else I can do to get rid of it?

If so... Mexican Turbo Snails will really help
