there really isnt a way to stop it from coming back. the only thing to do is just scrub it off.

Is the tank relatively new? Diatom algae is common in tanks that aren't fully established. With time, it will usually go away on its own.

Make sure you keep up with water changes, and try feeding in a separate tank - that should help.
