Not really new to reefing but been years and years since I cycled a new tank. My DT is done cycling but by first two clowns have 2 weeks left on QT. Should I just get the lights going at low levels for 5ish hours a day? Or leave them completely off?

Thanks!

Is the "ugly stage" of a new tank actually avoidable, or is it a mandatory rite of passage?
