Re: cycle done!
prolly slowly start transfering my new tank. Just my fish for now, I only have two. maybe some rock here and there. No coral until my light comes in.....do you think indirect daylight only will be enough for my coraline?

Re: cycle done!
It should be fine. I have heard when you cycle you should leave the lights of so the rest of the algae dies and the coraline will make it.

Re: cycle done!
Your coralline will be fine.The less direct light may even get more color going.
