FIRST LIGHT

[miloy_nano]

HI EVERYONE!
I STARTED CYCLING A 13,5 GAL FLUVAL EVO NANO WITH CURED LIVE ROCKS AND LIVE SAND FROM LFS.
I'M NEW IN THIS HOBBY AND I'M VERY CONFUSED WITH LIGHTENING.
TODAY IS DAY 2
WHAT DAY SHOULD I START TURNING LIGHTS ON?? AND FOR HOW LONG?
I COUD NOT FIND ANY INFORMATION ONLINE.
THANK YOU.

Lights aren't really necessary at this point I don't think. I ran mine during my cycle and I don't really think they effected much. Pretty much just run them if you want

You will get lots of algae if you run them during the cycle. Keep the, off until fully cycles and you add fish

Hi and welcome , because you've used live rock and live sand you could add some ammonia till 1 ppm and a bottle of bacteria too help your cycle .. test after 24 hrs , if ammonia reads zero you could put a cuc in and a hardy fish !
