I just finished filling this IM 15 AIO and plan on starting Dr. Tim’s fishless cycle tomorrow. Do I leave the light off during this process?

  • Very important, but one or two fish may be enough

    Votes: 7 9.7%

  • Optional... a coral-only reef can feel completely finished

    Votes: 2 2.8%

  • I actually prefer a coral-and-invertebrate-only system

    Votes: 0 0.0%

  • It depends on the tank’s size, style, or purpose

    Votes: 11 15.3%

  • I’ve kept a fishless reef (details in the comments)
