GFO also binds silicate, FWIW.
Tbh though, diatoms are one of the best "problem" algae to have IMO, almost everything eats it, easily vacuumed/removed, generally subsides quickly; if your blooms are restricted to diatoms you are not in a bad spot. Others deal with dyno, cyano, GHA, and other more annoying blooms.
