So I unintentionally had my lights off in my tank for 3 days now, and it looks amazing! The corals are still opening up, but the entire back wall (which was covered in algae and other stuff), is black again.

Amazing how well it works, will be doing this from month to month from now on. I would do before and after pictures, but I only have an after, and a before that is really old.


Before (Old, but similar in terms of algae on back wall (Rocks weren't this dirty before lights out)):

I really hate being a buzzkill, but it will return until you correct the issue that caused it. It isn't really gone, just on vacation. :-)

Sirreal- The first one is a lot worse than it was. I corrected the issue, just never bothered fully cleaning the back wall. My Urchin keeps a lot of it in check, voracious little eater.

James- That's partially my fault for not removing the algae growing on it soon enough, hopefully it will make a comeback now though. I need to get some nudi's for those aptasia too, got like 10 of em lol.
