Hello Everyone! :wave:
I am starting my cycle for my new BioCube 29 Gallon. I am a little confused on the lighting during and after the cycle process. If I understand correctly:
-The 10,000k 36 Watt light is the fluorescent daytime bulb
-The Actinic blue light is the night time bulb
-The moon light is the blue LED strip
I am getting a Coralife power surge timer to control my lighting. My questions are:
1. During the cycle process which I am beginning today, which lights have to be on, and which have to be off, and when? I do not want to do this incorrectly, and result in an algae bloom during my cycling. Any detailed information about this would be helpful because i have no clue about lighting.
2. After the cycle process, same question. Which lights have to be on, and for how long?
Eventually, I will be getting corals and all the fun stuff, but my main concern right now is how to cycle the tank properly, because I understand the importance. I appreciate any tips and pointers on cycling properly. Thank you in advance!
