Flourish Excel will clear this up if you use it as directed.

Nerite snails do a number on diatom algae, but excel works well, too.

Nerite snails only do so much, so fast and can be hard to get. Excel also makes your plants grow better - but it's expensive. I've always bemoaned the lack of an open source second source. Vinegar and ingredient X or something...
