Dirty Tank

I have had my tank for about two years now, I think. Right now I have a lot of debris floating around. All I have to clean the tanks is my skimmer and live rock. This has just started happening in the last month or so. Not big "chunks" just a lot of particles. Any suggestions on how to clean it?

Crank up your Skimmer! Getting a cup a day at the start is not out of the question, it will take that stuff out if skimming wet enough.

That's what I figured... It use to be real thick and hardly had to change it... I raised it up a little and now getting thicker stuff out. Guess I will keep going

Right on! It will help allot. You can also take a turkey baster to your rocks right before a water change, this will clear allot of the detritus off of them and help avoid any algae problems later.
