I've had diatoms with Radions, Hydras, and Reef Breeders.. it seems to just natural bloom in this hobby. It usually indicates a water quality issue or just a part of a maturing tank instead of the light itself.

It looks like your rock is pretty white and sterile, once you get more coralline, worms, shrimp, copepods, sponges, etc eating up nutrients it should be less occurring.
 
What they said. Also i had the ebay chinese fixtures for yrs before i switched back to t5 if u house them in a canopy may have to clean them often but i can tell u in a canopy dont care what brand it is without refular cleaning salt creep causes shorts which cause fires keep em clean and u be good . If not in canopy less to worry about although again every brand of light or in that matter any kinda electronics need a cleaning every now and then dust build up etc salt water just makes it more important to keep clean
