at least two weeks of raised pH .. day 3 of "lights out" .. still signs of dinos in the tank, albeit a considerably depleted population. to change the water or not to change the water, that is the question. the last thing i want to do is encourage another bloom.
i hate to continue on too much longer with my lights down, but if i don't get the snot attack under control i'm going to lose everything
I would recommend no water change but I wouldn't go more than 3 days without light. This is why I suggest waiting until you have the dinos on the run prior to going lights out.

Don't be afraid to do a water change, unless u have a nutrient rich water source. Hit them with the siphon. I would have hit them REALLY good prior to shutting the lights off, at least to put a dent in them. Make sure u check your water chemistry, in the tank, and your makeup water.
