Default Hell of a way to start the new year

I went on a lil vacation to Edmonton for change of scenery for 4 days I come back to find my tank is hurting. I lost a leather coral and my hammer coral was not looking to good one rock was covered in green hair algae and another was loaded with bubble algae and about a 1/3rd of my visible sand was covered in red algae and My fish were looking distressed.

I picked all the bubble algae I could and got as much of the hair algae as I could as well then removed what I could of red algae without disturbing the sand bed too much. Did a 50% water change and cleaned skimmer as good as I could. Turned the lights off for 3 days and finally turned them on this morning and things are looking better hair algae is controlled as is the bubble algae but the red algae is being stubborn and my fish are happy once again as is my hammer coral.

Cleaned my skimmer 3 times a day(overkill I know) and water looks better as well what a way to start the new yr.
