Hey guys

I'm just thinking about the rate at which protein is digested in SA chiclids. By that I mean the rate waste nitrogen is excreted after feeding.

Do they give off ammonia really quicky or a bit later? In a tank where lets say feeding is moderate, twice daily for an adult pair of Jaguar Cichlids.

Do cichlids produce waste from digestion very quickly, or is digestion and excretion a slower process? Or does it run at a constant level?
 
I mean in terms of filtration necessity.
If pumps could only be on 8 hours a day, when would the best 8 hours be?

That's a set up and filtration question all day long
