testing after cycling

Just wanted to know what everyone usually tests for after the tank has cycled, and how often you do it. I want to make sure I'm testing the right things.
 
After a cycle and while I'm still adding livestock, I still test for ammonia and nitrites. Beyond that, Magnesium, Alkalinity, and Calcium. Typically once a week, but in my biocube that is well established, on dosing pumps, and using Kalkwasser, I only test about every other week.
 
Temp daily
Alk, twice a week (still trying to get 2 part right)
Salinity for WC (mostly weekly)
pH for WC (mostly weekly)
Phos weekly
Ca weekly
Mg once a month
Nitrate once a month
Si upon need
NH3 never (only in QT when doing TTM or Qting)
NH2 never

Edit: water level, I check daily and fill up with RODI manually as no ATO for the moment.
