Diatoms feed off of silicates, I doubt the lack of phosphates are causing this issue.

No, a pic would help identify the algae you have. I don't think its diatoms though, and GFO rids the tank of phosphates, so when was the last time you changed it? And whats the PO4 reading now?
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
