If you do not have a deep sand bed I would only clean a small part of it before a water change.

I don't have a deep sandbed. do you think the diatoms are because my tank is only 2 months old?

Nassarius snails! But your tank is new if its only 2 months old proper maintenance and good flow will clean it up quickly in time.
