it would die, but probably come back unless the underlying issues that caused it were fixed. If you have corals they will die, and it may stress out your fish.
As long as I have some availability of PO4, turf algae will grow. This has been my experience. The problem is Dinos thrive in this area. I would like to get to a point were I can elevate PO4 and NO3 and only have to worry about GHA.
Manual removal (if possible) and "deep eating" CUC (Urchins, Pithos, Emeralds, Chitons) would help IMO. The turf algae would prob just come back after the blackout without taking steps like this.
That’s kind of what I figured as well. Thanks.
no problem. Keep the deep cleaning invert thing in mind, most "regular" cleaners cannot fully destroy turf algae.
