Dark period ramp up

[boisblancboy]

Any thoughts on after the cycle and running the tank dark, instead of now turning the lights on but have a very low intensity while slowly ramping up to normal hours and intensity over weeks if not months during the ugly stages?

It's a good plan.

Best thing to do IMO. It decreases your chances of uglies.
