So this is diatoms I assume?

Tank is about 3 months old and I never had these during my cycle. Just wait it out and keep changing water?

I used water from a different lfs last weekend and I wonder if that is what is causing it? I asked my normal guy and he said their water is just ro and not rodi like his even though they nodded when I asked. I also had to mix my own salt with that water change. Anything I should or do I just have to ride it out? I vacuumed the sand bed and did a 20% change on saturday and they were back before the end of the day. I also dosed with fuel a few times over the last two weeks so perhaps that is contributing to it? Going to stop with that stuff for now.
