Are your ammonia/nitrite/nitrate levels all appropriate? If everything is fine but you still have some discoloration, try running some carbon. How's your skimmer doing?

My water was brownish and yellowish from sturring up the algae. I used a product called Purigen made by Seachem. It's similar to carbon in that it's a water clarifier. After two days, my water was clean. I was very impressed with the results.
