That last pic looks really cool.
I have encouraged hair algae to grow frequently. I like the wavy grass look

Letting algae grow into decoration?

I don't like it, it looks dirty to me especially if it starts growing on the glass. Black beard algea is not something I want in my tanks. If you don't have fish that will eat them, simese algea eaters or Roseline Barb's will eat it. As far as the color change goes if you use florescent bulbes change them.
I would say your light needs to be replaced. A t8 tube will loose it's spectrum. In less than a year.
I had a lot of awesome dark purple beard algae with a 50/50 acetic, light with high ph, and a high organic load.
My cichlids will eat it before the green.
I have recently added LED Reef lights, too a 50/50 and a 6500k t8 tubes. Since then the green algae, and turf algae have dominated. I regularly add steel fillings for an Iron supply.
I have always admired those tanks that had driftwood branches that were covered with bright green algae.
So,were you diving or snorkeling around the rig?.....sounds cool if so.

When I kept Africans i used coral pieces as well. I still have them and am contemplating setting up my 90 again for them so I can dig the coral out and put it to use
We were putting new anodes, on an old rig. Then UT testing all the welds. In 200ft of blue water.
Interesting,I recently saw the movie Deepwater Horizon and your post brought that to mind.
I worked mostly on a 4 point anchored Sat boat. Cooking and doing laundry for premadona Saturation divers speaking in helium. Mostly installing pipe lines from the bottom, up to +15' sea level.
