Aquarium cycle with lights off

[puffdaddy_1]

Hi guys,

I have a biocube that has been running for over a year. Most of the time, there has been no lighting. I have upgraded to leds and now have a time cycle. My question is whether there will be a new cycle in the tank when the lighting cycle begins or will my tank be as "mature" as a tank that has been running for over a year.

The bacteria that do the cycle could care less about light. So the extra light won't cause a new cycle

Have you been feeding the tank all this time?

Yes and it has one clownfish

You'll be fine.
