Yes this is normal, it will go away on its own. Its hard to tell how long, but it will probably get worse before it gets better. Just continue with what your doing and within a month or two you'll forget you even had algae :) Welcome to the CCC (carbon dosing club) :)

the full high nutrient dose is probably too much. You have to dose somewhat individualized regardless of what the directions say. increased cyno happens but I cant say I've seen diatom outbreaks from it.
