I've got a good amount of GHA growing while fallow - could I add some QT inverts to battle this or should I wait till the fallow period is over?

Adding cuc will reset fallow period. Hopefully you can just battle it with manual removal? Otherwise, herbicide treatment might help?

During a fallow period I like to shut off all lights. It also helps to put blankets over the windows to keep the room as dark as possible.

I have a lot of coral and anemones. Not sure how that would affect them. So far I switched to only blue light
