Well,

It sounds like you need to do some research BEFORE you add that sand...

This will get you started:

You should do a search on "nutrient export" and "detritivore" and "diatom."

You have a massive diatom bloom caused by a nutrient spike in turn caused by a lack of nutrient processing organisms either in the sediment or elsewhere.

Good luck.
