Does this look like algae bloom, or detritus? My tank is relatively new (few months) and it has been having a bit of a fishy smell lately. The skimmer if filling with nastiness every day or two. Nitrate is 15-20 and my phosphate is 0 (trying to bring it up slowly with Neo Phos). Thanks for the help.

That looks more like detritus settling on the sand than an algae bloom especially with your tank being new. The fishy smell and the skimmer gunking up daily usually means there’s a lot of organic waste breaking down so maybe a bit more frequent water changes or boosting flow could help move stuff
