Increase your circulation and decrease your lighting.

I have 2 aquaclear 30 on a 30gallon tank, and light are on like 6hr a day.

Apple snails and bristolnoses, seem to do a pretty good job in my tank with the fairies.

I have Nerite snails. They wont multiply in freshwater either so you wont be over run with them.

Diatoms are common in new set ups, how old is this one? But they can reoccur if there is sufficient Ammonia for them to feed on, which is why increasing circulation is a good thing as it will eliminate any 'pockets' of ammonia.
