Awesome, thank you for the quick feedback. I am not running a sump, just a canaster so the water is circulating. I also have a power head in the tank. I have been running the skimmer but not full out just enough to make some bubbles basically.

So i can discontiue the use of the skimmer and aviod using the light until i have completed my cycle,

Yep. It the best way, with the skimmer your not helping the cycle by removing the nutrients needed to create cycle proccess. It would i suppose in the end just cause a longer cycle period.
And the lights as i said will only bring you grief with the amount of algae you will grow.
