Default what is on when cycling a tank

I finally got my new 29g to not shock me anymore (an electrician ran a
dedicated 20A circuit with a GFCI for me)

Now, with the chiller pulling the water down from a steamy 90F to 80F, I am
ready to drop a shrimp into the water to make ammonia and cycle the tank.
What I need to know is this:

Do I run my lights during the cycling ? If so, how much ? 8hours/day ?

Do I run my PS during the cycling period ?

What about my UV sterilizer ?

anyone ? (Marc ?)

Thanks in advance.
