What type of filtration do you have in the tank? And is all the filtration working properly. Have you added anything new to the tank in the way of decor, that you might not think is harmful but it is? Like dead sea fans, starfish, etc.?
If the LR was dead, or dying, you should be able to tell this by significant die-off of the algae. Smelly water, etc.
