Covered the tank for dark environment. It is good practice to leave the light off during the cycling process, since it is during this period that algae nutrients will be at their highest level, and high intensity lighting can stimulate excessive algae growth. In addition, the growth of nitrifying bacteria is inhibited by light.

Only little blue lights are hitting the tank, as can been seen in the picture.
