Zeovit 14day cycle question and 3hr on 3 hr off cycle

[BlueTang<3]

The vertex zeo reactor has a check valve to keep water in the reactor. I started it and was very happy with it i hardly noticed a cycle . If you do this cycle prepare for some of the nastiest algae you will ever see in a tank then boom gone. I would get like a few inches of growth on the windows a day. But it worked well never lost a thing when i moved my tank.
