Reducing phosphate in your tank would help. Phosphate is the main source of food for nuisance algae growth. U can do that by adding phosphate absorbing media such as rowaphos. Adding a few clean up crew, e.g. snails, seahare, urchin , would help in eating the excess algae.

I have all that u said but super slow....

In reefing and anything in life there's a saying.

Good things happen slow; bad things very fast

Sun corals are very specialized feeders and you have to target feed it almost daily with Mysis Shrimps etc. They will open when they feel there's food or at regular feeding times. I suppose there's no real harm mixing both types of sand other than the aesthetics issue. I don't think there is any commercial algae scrubber sold here and most local reefers either DIY or buy from the net.
