Hey all, I haven't had a problem in a while with my tank. I went away for a week and I left my protein skimmer off. When I came back, the sand was brown probably from fish waste. It is still a nasty brown. I have a DSB, remora aqua-c skimmer, and hardly enough LR (about 30 lbs). I also use spring water for water changes which I know fuels algaes. I plan on getting a RO/DI filter. I was wondering if more LR would help with this, maybe break it down more. I am also going to clean my skimmers pump. Any suggestions on how to fight this?

P.S. I was thinking of throwing my emperor 400 on there too, until I get all my LR.
