cycling of tank

[RCA]

Should I turn on my led and chiller during cycling?

[RCA]

Currently inside tank with livesand and live rocks only.

[Clement Chen]

I think no need on led or chiller, waste money, and e light might cause algae to grow

[RCA]

Ok thats what I am thinking also save electricity.

[RCA]

Wanted to clarify it as one guy told me if I dont on chiller and led live rock will become white and foul smell. Dont know how true.

[bobkemejan]

As of now dun need to on ur light

U can start on ur light once ur cycle period is over

There's no harm if u want to on for 1 or 2 hrs

Not true. So as long as u have water circulation can le. Unless your water temperature is insanely hot there's no diff if u on chiller or not during cycling. Btw foul smell for the initial cycling may happen as stuff starts to decompose and break down to kick start the cycle.

[RCA]

Oh okay anyway my tank temperature now is 30.8 degrees is it consider very hot?

[AquaReefer]

You have to try to lower it. Are you keeping only fishes or will add corals?

[RCA]

Nope currently still cycling only have live rocks and sands.

Fishless is ok..it says good oso..

Interesting to know, u r running return pump n skimmer only?..the temp is 30.8..this let u understand ur equipment heat..

I would prefer to on just an hour or 2 a day during cycling. Let's the coralline grow. Though coralline can also grow simply with ur ceiling light
