I am not sure, personally I have never had this experienced as far as it causing an algae bloom. Sense corals adsorb nutrients from the water column I believe they act more like plants and do not contribute to the bio load. but at the same time if you are one of those that feed there corals then you are adding to it there. now there are other things that corals will release, as in toxins to prevent growth of other species ect.. but that isn't really a bio load issue.

SO more than a couple times I have seen a tank go from empty to packed full of coral with no ill effect whats so ever.
