Put a skimmer in with the rock, don't have any light on it. Give it 3-4 wekks ruuning like this and change 5% of the water weekly. The algae will die off but the bacteria in the rock will survive it. You can use the rock once all the algae dies and the water doesn't have a stink to it. The sand is another issue, let it dry out and rinse it really well before using.
