Do you have your tank near direct sunlight? Also how long do you keep lights on each day?
This is usually how I get rid of diatoms.

Well last week, sunlight was directly hitting my tank. Four days ago i bought blinds to prevent sunlight. I keep on scrubbing the brown algae but it still gets back even if i have the blinds already. Lights i turn off usually at day time
You get rid of diatoms by what? Flagtails? Im sure he eats it haha
Yup. I have one in a 70 gal that I have had set up for almost 2 yrs now. I have never had to scrub it since it has been in there. This pic is in a 180 and I only have to scrub algae on the scratches every once in a while.
Try and keep tank lights on for ony 4-6 hours a day, and reduce the lighting you use if you have multiple tubes
