I know BRS, Ryan, is working on their Biome cycling investigation...
Waiting to hear the results...
Since they have stated that all (?) the "uglies" are photosynthetic... and recommend keeping the lights off for the first month+...
Could you avoid the the "ugly phase" by keeping the lights totally off for the first 4, 6, 8+ months...?
I know if would prolong getting your tank set up... but it would also let you avoid a lot of the heartache too...
