Diatoms are just part of the "breaking in" cycle of a tank. I noticed when I tore apart and set up my tanks again, only the new rock and substrate was really affected by the diatoms. I'm pretty sure they go away on their own, but they go away faster by removing them (manually or with algae-eaters).

I thought I read somewhere not to use lava rock in salt tanks. Can someone confirm.
