Yup, the timing is likely to vary on a case by case basis. Safest way is to use testkits to determine ammonia and nitrite are both 0 before you can add your first fish.

using a fan might bring it down 2 28C. this kind of weather dun expect any cooler. i tot at 1st ur lights r 2 blue n 2 pink? replace them with 2 blue n 2 white. or maybe 3 white n 1 blue will b better, IMO. |

heh pink lights is so totally uncool. imho even if you are doing a FOWLR tank it would be better with some white light than pink.
