do I wait until fully cycled before adding macro algae?

wondering if I'm suppose to wait until fully cycled before adding macro algae to my fuge?

thx!

Add it now, the macro will suck up nutrients that crappy algae will otherwise use.

shouldnt be a big problem to add it now. if it dies out, it's cheap to replace, and if it starts growing it could speed up the cycle or otherwise help with tank filtration.

I agree. Add it ASAP. It will start sucking up phosphates and nitrates quickly as long as it has some good light.
