Actually, they *should* vacuum the gravel during the cycling
period.

That's not what I was told to do unless there was decomposing
food on it.
And that advice has always worked for me. :-)

The nitrifying bacteria secrete a glue like substance and adhere
to
every surface. They are NOT going anywhere. Vacuuming gravel
isn't
going to budge them.

Then vacuum it. I'll do as I've always done since it works so
well for me.

It would do more harm to the health of the tank *not* to vacuum
during
a cycle.

True, if there is uneaten food or decaying plants lying on it.
It's
whatever works for YOU. What works BEST for me is to feed
lightly and do
enough partial water changes to keep the the ammonia/nitrites at
not lethal
levels until the cycle is finished.
