Brown diatom algae?

First, I’d like to say I’m enjoying your articles and FAQs immensely. Quite a wealth of knowledge…. I think I’m fighting a diatom algae problem in my tank. My nitrates are very high, because I’m still struggling to not overfeed. I have an Eclipse 12 gal tank, heater set at 80, fake plants, small amount of gravel (about 1/4 – 3/4 inch) in the bottom. This tank is still new, although I did a complete fishless cycle. I seeded the new tank with filter material and gravel from my previous tank during the cycle, but that has now been removed. Inhabitants are 1 Neon Blue Dwarf Gourami (Blue), 1 Bamboo Shrimp (Shrimpy) and 1 Gold Banded pleco (a gift from a co-worker). I originally had them all in an Eclipse 6 gal – and decided to give them a new home. I now have brown spotty algae stuff – which I can get off the glass easily, but is all over my plants. Unfortunately, I landscaped with pieces that are too large to pull
