Speaking of rust....

I took my tunze 9004 out to clean it and if anyone is familiar with it, it has 4 magnets that is submerged with the skimmer to secure it with exterior magnets. Anyway while cleaning a few magnets that are submerged had some rust on. Not to mention a speck of rust on my glass. Tried cleaning it and soaking in vinegar but it's stubborn. It's a few years old and could always use a better skimmer. Other than that not sure what to do.
 
I did find a little info on line so at least I know I'm not the only one. Reading there are replacement magnets available or GFO deposits forming on magnets and area. Which leads me to another question. Could this be why for the last months I have been getting diatom like growth in my tank?
