I'm cycled, got two fish got 7 hermits, got cheap light from petsmart and a second hand me down. My theory is to slowly introduce light via 6hrs this week 8hrs next week etc. I will soon get a better light in Dec and my first coral possibly leathers to start. There aren't any signs of algae growth except a tiny patch that grew but I think the hermits got it. Feeding damsels flakes and hermits wafers, till the algae comes full force. I know it's coming, the algae but it hasn't come yet, when???
