2: I don’t run lights during the cycle. There will be lots of phosphate and nitrate and a time set up for unwanted algae.
3. When you start to see algae you’ll know you are getting through the cycle. First you’ll see diatoms (brown fine algae).
4: you can start ghost feeding once the water temperature is up to normal 76-78 and the salinity is correct. Personally I like Dr. Tim’s all in one bacteria and the accompanying ammonia chloride.
5: I do a large 30-50% water change after the cycle and before I introduce fish.
