is it ok to have macro algea during a cycle?

[peckhead]

should i put it in my fuige now or wait?

 

[gnorman]

wait b.c the plants take up nitrate which basically comes from fish and such.... no fish, no food for the plants.

Also wait because the ammonia from the cycle will kill it.

The ammonia won't kill it as ammonia is a fertilizer to all plant like matter. But it could hinder your bacteria from completing the complete cycle.

I hope it's not considered impolite to resurrect this thread and ask for a few more opinions? I have the exact same question as the original poster.
By the way Peckhead what did you do?
Although it seems that each person said wait for a different reason. So maybe it's best to just hold off.

i put it in and it was fine
