Once i start cycling my tank should I have the lights on or off?
Thanks!
Thanks!
The lights off is always better.
Than again I always used "Dr Tim one and only" 5 days if you follow the directions and done.
It depends on what size tank you have (gallons)

You always can go the old school route and ask a cup of sand and a small piece of LR out some members 100% cycled setup.
Will take about on average 6 weeks but it's almost free.
Dude, this is marsh!
Just ask and you can receive.
There's always a member that can miss a cup of sand and a piece of small LR to seed your tank.
Of course a Dr Tim treatment is speeding things up.
When you get to UA shoot me a note and I have a piece of LR to help seed for coraline and other benificial bacteria.
I'm only a mile down the road.
I was about to call you a total N00B, Mark. LOL
Thanks Mark, I edited your post in my head! Good point on the shelf time. Things are starting to arrive in the mail so I am getting more and more excited. I think I've watch every video on Youtube about Saltwater tanks. I seem to remember as much as I forgot from having my first tank years ago.
+1 on that Dr. Tims
kinda makes the old way of cycling comparable to the way cavemen made fire by hand, now a days making fire is as easy as the flick of a thumb.
