Diatom algae

Hi, could someone tell me how to get rid of Diatom algae without killing the live rock and sand. Would really appreciate it!!! Thanks
How did you identify the offending organism as a diatom?
 
Pics of Diatom infestations. It also matches what the other gentleman has. Thanks
 
Diatoms feed of silicate...and silicate is taken up fast in a reef tank .. so diatom blooms never last long unless your adding silicates ..bad ro water or dosing
