Why is everyone getting so excited ? I am not quitting I am just taking steps to get rid of my algae problem by cutting back on the things that are feeding it . Am I really harming anything by leaving my lighting off for a week No. I mean fish don't care if the lights are on or not. My corals are not opening up but I am sure they have been through worse. Am I really going to hurt anything by not feeding for a week probably not . My Nitrates are zero my Nitrites are at zero My ph is at 8.4 My Salt is at .1025 My calcium is at 420 The tank is at 77 degrees now and everything should be ok I am just tring to see if a lack of light and feed will start to see a decline in algae I am not tring to kill the tank! I have put a lot of effort in to this so far and have no plans to give up now even though the algae is bothering me it is not that big of an issue really. my fish and corals are all healthy .
