Dead Algae and DE??

[Heatherly30]

I am at my wits end with brown dust. We had a minor algae bloom last year, SLAMMED it, but have never successfully gotten rid of the brown dust. I have vacuumed to waste, siphon using the hose, I just can’t get rid of all of it. It doesn’t seem to bother anyone else but me, but I want it clean. Water is crystal clear. Even passed an overnight chlorine test just to be sure nothing was active.

Could DE help? If so, can you give me dummy instructions?
