I have few questions in mind, sorry for noob question. If phosphate reactor helps to export out phosphate in the water and hence reduce the chance of algae to appear so it's beneficial to start phosphate reactor during cycling period, right?
How about biopellet and skimmer? Is it beneficial to have these during cycling? Or better to have it after cycled?
How about light? I would think not having light during cycling will also helps preventing algae, but does it have effect on the bb development? Thanks
