Cycling: Best In Light Or Dark?

[pkppv]

Do these bacteria light light or dark? Thanks

Dark more than likely I think

if you cycle with the light on theres a chance you could end up with an algae problem.

I dont think the bacteria are fussed about light or dark, since they're growing inside the filter where you can't control the amount of light anyway.

Most people recommend cycling in the dark though, as the elevated ammonia levels and light can cause algae problems.

Couldn't have put it better myself!
