New Tank Lighting - 02-07-2007, 12:26 AM

I just set up a new 58 gallon tank (45 gallons of water) 8 days ago. It uses ADA Aqua Soil/Power Sand. I currently use 95 watt's of 6700K power compact lighting 8 hours a day. I do 40% water changes every 2-3 days. This tank is currently cycling; no fish in the tank. No dosing. Ammonia and nitrite are spiking; off the charts. Plant growth is okay. Small bits of brown and green algae here and there. I have another 55 watt 5500K power compact bulb in the hood as well. Would you turn it on or leave it off?
