i, personally, would wait until the
diatoms are gone. especially for SPS corals, i would wait at least a month to make sure everything is staying stable.

Looks like some
cyano on the rocks too, assuming those are air bubbles, not sand. Nothing to worry about yet, but if it is
cyano , keep an eye on it.

How long has the tank been set up? These
diatom outbreaks usually settle down as the tank stabalizes.
