Lights during "cycle"

New tank setup (also "novice" "setup person&quot --- 55 gal tank with 48" Moon-Lite" hood...1st week of "cycle" complete - just now getting first "nitrite" readings in tank...(have kept "dark" till now...)

Setup "Moon-Lite" like this- ...The light/hood has 3 power cords coming from it...one for two 65 watt 10,000K bulb, one for two 65 watt Ultra-Actinic bulb, and one for four MoonLites (have not seen so many power plugs coming out of 1 device since front of pickup truck while living in Fairbanks, AK)...connected the two florescent "light plugs" (separate cords & controls) to the "timer" and 2nd power strip...connected the "Moon-Light" cord to "continuous" power strip...They will stay on all the time, while the others turn on and off depending on timer...(hood also as elect. exhaust (quiet - but quite powerful) fan that turns on when 10K bulbs are turned on.


??? - What light settings should be set for rest of "cycling" process - some say "no lights" - reducing initial algae threats - but seems like some light might help it along, not to mention being beneficial to any coral/other things that still may be "alive" on rock...???

"none" - "some" - "little" - "lot" --- ideas/suggestions pls?
