Cycling

[HB Fash]

Just started cycling my second aquarium, had to get a larger aquarium than 10 gallon.
My question is should I add any calcium, magnesium etc during the cycle? Is this in any way beneficial/necessary?

When cycling my first aquarium I had no supplements bought at that point so non were added. Now that I have them for dosing my current aquarium should I use straight away even during cycling?

Thanks

it is not necessary to dose ca, mg, etc while cycling.

Hold off until your all cycled and getting some coral

Don't add anything. Don't change water. Run a good cycle with NH3 and slowly start adding life.

You likely won't need to dose anything until you start getting coral. Even then, weekly water changes will often be sufficient to maintain appropriate levels at first. When you see levels starting to drop between water changes, that's good point to start dosing as needed. Otherwise, you'll just be adding more than is consumed, resulting in increases to those parameters.
