Actually my Christmas gift to myself is a new skimmer. In the new year I am planning on shifting into SPS for the first time. So cleaning the sand bed is the first of a process to bring my tank up to the task of supporting SPS.

No room around here for a bigger tank unless some of the furniture goes.

well then, do the large tough toot because you want to have the sand clean and the bacteria in it for a while before you start adding sps after you clean your sand you can use cycle to help promote the bacteria to grow and spred out. cycle is supose to have beneficial bacteria in it. just make sure you use saltwater to clean and rinse youor sand and all will be fine. This way you can get your sand clean fast and cleaner than with just siphoning. You will still have beneficial bacteria in it from your tank and it will be just like new you can also clean the glass where the algea is. It will take less than a day insted of 4 weeks or so.
