unless there is fresh silicate being introduced to your tank (through water changes or top off) the diatoms will use up the available silicate and fade out with time. patience is the best way to remove them, simply stirring the sand bed and brushing them off the rocks as you can will help keep their life cycle as fast as possible to burn up the available soluble silica in the water.
