No, dont cut back.
Just stop dosing ammonia (if you are).
Increase the amount of plants and possibly water change to bring the ammonia down.

diatoms are common in newly set up tanks...they like the silica leached from the sealant...it will go away given time...just scrape it off during water changes if you dont like it.
