Yeah if you go to the ZEOvit.com forum and just look through some of threads with people asking for beginner advice, they will be told to cycle it 3 on, 3 off every time.
I originally thought it was just to start slowly but apparently its not at all. Its more to do with getting different types of bacteria growing. Sorry I don't know enough about it to tell you what bacteria is growing while its on and while its off but Im sure someone on here can elaborate. I guess my thinking is that why ever stop the and off cycle once you get things going? No point in changing whats working. At the same time though, people run the reactors full time and still get results. I have had great success cycling and will keep at it.
