Live Rock Cleaning?

Ok so hears the deal. I went to Florida for seven days on spring break, and the retard who watched our house left my light to my 24 gal nano on the entire time! Never turned it off at nights! So now i have a massive algae problem, and i want to know how i should go about cleaning it without harming the corals.

 

Well, I would go back to your normal lighting routine, do a water change and if necessary add some ferric oxide. See how that does.

 

get a timer for your lights

 

Turn the Lights of for a couple days. I dont know if you have heard of the "Lights of for 3 days thread" , but I do it every couple months and it helps alot with the algae (and other things). Sometimes, I even go the extra mile and wrap a towel around the tank to keep out any dormant light........thats what I think you should do.

 

and +1 on the timer, there about 4 dollars at wal-mart.

 

+1 on the lights, I have used the towel trick too, works great.
