I was Just wondering, I had some really bad algae pop up, and now its going away(for the most part) But I havent been running my lights here lately cuz I had to do a top off with bad water(Not tap, but bad RO/DI-Phosphates suck)and I started seein some algae show up again.

Well I did A 40% change(this time with good water) and left the lights off for 2 days. Of course the algae is going away, the lights are off. How long should I wait before adding some corals? Tank is about 4-4 1/2 months old. Levels are good and the shrimp seem to be really happy.

Thanks for reading

Levels are good? Thats a big water change. Give your tank some time. Whats your skimmer doing? I say let your tank sit a couple weeks and test regularly. If tests read 0 you are probably safe to start adding a few corals. Patience is key to staying in this hobby for a long time.
