On day three, vaccumed out sump/detritus with shop vac and did large water change. Also bumped my alk up to 10, to try to keep Ph up. I can't say what has resulted in my small success so far...last time I did lights out they came back like crazy a day later...will let all know if they return. Oddly enough, my coraline algae has exploded during the lights out period.
I'd guess your coraline is doing good because you corals are miserable and most likely not growing at all.
Two of them were is such a bad shape that a short darkness finished them.

It's been a few years for me.
