More than likely it is just the sand settleing down dont worry about it unless your water level is appearing to drop , mine did that when I first set it up because of the really small grain size to the sand , it will eventually go away .You may see one or two every now and again

bubbles follwed by purplish/brown ugly slime is cyanobacteria. best thing to combat is is mixing up some chemi-clean. (make sure it's well dissolved, and toss it in) should rid it.

Diatoms stage in general is an "ugly" time. All you can do is keep doing water changes and watching. Eventually it'll die and clear up.
