    Lights out for three days
    Toothbrush, scrub dead algae into water column
    Turkey baster the rocks into the water column
    Siphon out all the crud floating around
    Do this weekly along with all the other suggestions listed above. The more aggressive, the better chances of getting rid of it quicker.

    I hope you win!! :D
