    Lights can be left on or off, pretty much your choice. You can keep them on to give your damsels day/ night simulation.
    That damsel might give you problems in the future, since they get very agressive.
    Oh and .. You didn't post pictures :)

    Sounds good, that's basically how I cycled. What type of damsel did you get?

    its your call about the lights. theres a thread that talks about keeping them off for 8 weeks which prevents algae brake out but i did it your way. and good circulation.
