its possible from outside lights sources eg lamps etc also depends on your phosphate levels you could always stick a bin liner over it, but your live rock may have light hungry inverts on it so id get a light fairly soon...

You can still gelt nuisance algae even without direct sunlight...

Cyanobacteria will continue to divide in the absence of light. In my experience it takes about two days before their energy supplies run out and the colony collapses.
