qt cycle

Just making sure I'm on the right track.... I've been ghost feeding for about 5 days. I tested my ammonia and it was at .25ppm... another question, as I'm cycling the qt should I have the lighting on or off?

It sounds like you're fine. Whether the lights are on or off doesn't really make a difference since there's nothing live in the QT, so you might as well leave them off and save electricity. You should have your heater on at normal temps.
