WELCOME and GREAT looking cube there.
You need to be patient. I know that you know that but as soon as you think you are ready to move forward, stop and re-think.
Don't start the lighting until you are 100 % sure that the cycle has been completed. You are promoting algae growth that will be competing for nutrients that your bacterial population needs to build up, consequently slowing the completion of your cycle. Same thing with GFO. Carbon is, as well, unnecessary at this point
Looks really good and looking forward to progress updates. Keep up with that patience of yours.
