Thank you.

Siphon it out.. Some of the sand will come out with it..
Then 3 days lights out..
Then siphon again..
Or red slime remover or chemiclean if you want to go the medicine (anti-bacterial) route... Just follow the directions exactly and don't over do it..
But yes.. likely overfeeding is the "real issue"..
I find that "live sand" usually causes more nuisance algae/diatom/cyano issues as there is a lot more "dead" than "live" in the sand..
I always recommend using dry sand..
