test your phosphate. fix the phosphate problem if required by removing sand possibly and feeding less ..... for interm quick fix use phosban/rowaphos to stop the growth
get your skimmer going
use a small diameter 1/2"id acrylic tube attached to a hose as a siphon and siphon any muck on the sand to remove that top layer. it may be used to remove some of the muck on the rocks as well if it comes off easily. this can be used to remove sand as well ... a little slow but you might not need to dismantle your tank.
good luck.
