Well i cleaned it the best i could and it is still blackish but definitely not as black as it used to be... what i noticed was this rock has a lot of of 3in holes with sponges in them. I don't think i have enough sand in my tank i had more than enough in the 55gal but in the 80 its about 1in tall. Will it be alright if i buy a bag of live sand and add it?

Adding the LS will probably add more die off to your tank. You could add dry (dead) sand, but will cloud the water up. Your call. Even adding a bag of LS to an established tank will cause a spike, depending on how much LS and LR is already in the tank will determine how big of a spike. HTH
