Done Cycling question?

[Eashton123]

Ok, im done cycling. I have one fish 4 hermit crabs 1 other crab 1 turbo snail and 1 other snail. When do I start my Alk and calcium cycles going? I dont have any corals yet..

Depends weather you need the Alk and Ca supplements or not. I don't have too many Ca. dependent corals right now so I hardly ever dose Ca. I dose Alk about twice a week to keep the levels around 11-12 (AP test kit) I've been getting nice coral growth and water chemistry stays pretty consistant. (450 Ca, 11-12 Alk)

If it ain't broke....
