Default brown rust like spots

I Need Help. My Tank Is 3 Months Old. Lot Of Up And Down To This Point. I Have A Problem With Rust Brown Looking Spots On My Glass And On The Sand. I Do Not Think It Is Diatoms, I Have Had That And This Is More Coarse Looking Than That. I Also Have What Looks Like Eggs On My Back Glass My Wife Says It Looks Like Termite Nest. I Have Researched But Have Not Found Anything To Compare It To. My Tank Is 38 Gallon Tall Tank With 30 Pounds Of Life Rock. I Have Several Mushrooms, 4 Pulsating Zenia And One Zoo. I Have One Rabbit Fish. I Noticed A Start Of Green Algae, I Think Is Hair Algae. All Test Are Good Even The Phospates. I Do Regular Water Change And Use The Water From My Lfs. Help Me Identify The Brown Rust Spost And The Gross Egg Looking Things On My Back Glass. It Seems I Have To Clean The Glass Each Day For Aglae. I Leave My Lights On 10 Hours.
Thanks
Andy W
