Yea, it should clear up on its own. Just keep up with your routine water changes and it will be gone in a month max.

What do you have in the tank as far as flow/ powerheads?
While diatoms are a normal part of the tank cycling process, you can limit the amount of it accumulating by maintaining a good amount of flow via poweheads. This will also help a lot in the next "algae" stage in cycling, cyanobacteria.
