More info would be good. Try using this Questionaire as a guide to what information to provide. Try to fill in as much as you can.

Time to shutdown ur lighting for at least 3 days and do frequent 30% water change until ur tank stabilise. [:]

I suggest getting some algae eating fish or shrimps. Then plant heavily with some fast growing plants, and wait for the algae to die out. Well, thats what I do for my tank.
