Getting rid of brown/diatom algae

Yeah if I can't get rid of them I will start my tank over again, but I was wondering, do you think boiling the rocks will get rid of the dinos (assuming I started the tank over again using new sand also)?
 
That's hard to say. I guess it depends on the life cycle of dinos, which I just don't know enough about. You never know if they can hitch a ride on coral frags, or if another reefer glued the coral to a bit of LR that hadn't been boiled/sanitized.
 
I had that problem about a year ago and nothing got rid of it I battled with it for about 6 month so I did lights out of 5 days and on again and the when it looked like it was coming back a Little I did another lights out for 5 day and I have not had a problem sense give it a try..
