 Blue-Green Algae Bloom Minimize

I've been a bit lax lately about cleaning up dead plant material (aka. mulm) and now I'm paying for it. My white sand has gotten a layer of blue-green slime. When I run a probe across the sand the algae clumps up so just about the only way I've found to remove it is to vaccum it off along with a bit of sand.

I've increased my CO2 injection, added extra flourish, and cleaned out as much mulm as possible so hopefully things will get back under control. I've also halted all sales of aquatic plants until I'm sure I wont pass something on to someone elses tank.

It also seems my discus tank has picked up a snail from somewhere. I've only seen the one so I'm not too concerned.
