Fish/Light question

My 60 gallon cube is just about fully cycled (according to all my chemistry sets). I have a small tank that I will eventually been transfering to the big one. There are too many expensive fish and coral to dump in there without testing it out. I would like to buy an inexpensive blue chromis or two and put it in for a few weeks to make sure everything is a-ok. I have been cycling without a light to keep away from an algae bloom. There is natural indirect light in the room due to windows. Is it okay to have fish only without setting up my led lights just yet? It will be light in the room from morning til evening--just indirect light.

Before putting thing in it...why not just have the lights setup first?

And you should be quarantining before putting fish in your DT.

Fish don't care about light. It'll be fine.
