Don't underestimate the importance of using RO/DI. Many of the problems that people have such as diatoms, algae, cyano are caused by using tap water.
If you're still getting diatoms it may have been too early to add Xenia. Make sure you are using RO/DI water and the diatoms should go away on their...

Sorry about your nightmare. I have a love-hate relationship with water. Have had lots of small floods for various reasons. I had to rip down a tank...
